​Alpha Chi Night Out

Each February during Healthy Relationships Week, Alpha Chi Omega asks our members to make plans with sisters in their area.  Kappa Omicron Kappa will be having a wine, appetizer, and dessert night at a sister's home in Escondido, CA. Please RSVP to receive the hostess address and food/drink sign up.

Can't join us on the 10th? Reach out to a sister for coffee, drinks, brunch, doing something active, shopping in person or a Skype/FaceTime/phone call with a sister in another city, state or country. There is no expectation for what you should do, other than enjoy the company of another AXΩ! Click here to search for additional in person or virtual events.

We're mixing some well-loved classics, like our holiday party and our Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday event, with exciting new events (ax throwing, anyone?). KOK members enjoy a supportive community of sisters and valuable networking opportunities.

Join us as we seek the heights together in Bellevue, Washington, for our 61st National Convention. Connect with your sisters and with Alpha Chi Omega. In 2022, national convention is planned to be held in person, for a sisterhood experience unlike any other.

As we enjoy spending time together, we’ll have additional time and opportunities for networking, sisterhood and making once-in-a-lifetime memories with friends new and old. We cannot wait to see you there!
Join National President Lynne Herndon on Thursday, February 3 at 8 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. CST / 6 p.m. MST / 5 p.m. PST for another Catching Up With Alpha Chi webinar!
