​SEEKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NATIONAL LEADERSHIP

The Alpha Chi Omega Enterprise is led by three boards of alumnae volunteers – the Fraternity National Council, the Foundation Board of Trustees and the National Housing Corporation Board of Directors. While each board governs a different entity with a specific focus area, all boards share the need for strategic thinkers and visionary leaders.  
If you know an alumna sister who can make a difference as a national-level volunteer, learn about these unique opportunities on our website and submit a recommendation for yourself or a qualified alumna sister by February 15!
