Philanthropy

  • HCU  

 
  • Alpha Chi Omega's philanthropy is Domestic Violence Awareness and we at Theta Omega have a special place in our hearts for the women and children affected by domestic violence.  We work closely with the Milwaukee Women's Shelter, who "provides comprehensive services and treatment for women, men, and children whose lives have been affected by domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health issues and poverty." We regularly send donations to this great organization, and help out whenever possible.
     
    Domestic Violence Awareness Week
    In October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we host DVA Week.  This week is devoted to spreading the facts about DVA to Marquette.  In the past we have brought in nationally-known speakers including one recently featured in Marie Claire Magazine. Be sure to keep an eye out as events are being posted soon!
     
    Healthy Relationships Week
    During the spring semester we host Healthy Relationship's Week.  This week looks into how to celebrate every relationship through speakers, discussion panels, and our Mr. Omega Man Pageant.  People wait all year for this event that has men representing student organizations compete against each other in casual wear, talent, formal wear, and a question and answer segment about their relationships and how they act like a gentlemen.

    Drive Away Domestic Violence 
    This year, with Sigma Chi Iota Pi, we hosted a golf outing at Oak Hills Golf Club in Oak Creek, WI that helped raise awarness for Domestic Violence while having a fun outing with sisters, brothers, family and friends. We are hoping to make this an annual event so keep an eye out next September for ways to participate!
