Alpha Chi Omega

What Alpha Chi Omega does

Alpha Chi Omega is a private, nonprofit women's fraternity founded in 1885 at DePauw University and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The organization operates through four related Indiana-incorporated entities: the Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity, Inc., the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation established in 1978), the Alpha Chi Omega National Housing Corporation (NHC, formed in 1996), and Pearl Stone Partners, LLC (employer of chapter house directors). It serves three customer segments — prospective collegians, active collegiate members at 108 chapters across U.S. universities, and alumnae — with more than 13,000 members housed in 77 NHC-managed chapter facilities and over 300,000 lifetime initiated members.

The core product is a lifelong member experience delivered through the My Alpha Chi portal (my.alphachiomega.org), Lyre Links for officer reporting, The Heights Learning Center (an LMS), and a program stack including the Real. Strong. Women. Experience framework, Capstone Leadership Program, Leadership Academy, Collegiate Growth Academy, Women & Wisdom, Mental Health Education, the Alumnae Book Club, the Volunteer Summit, and domestic violence awareness programming (the national philanthropy adopted in 1992). Content is distributed via The Lyre quarterly magazine (in print and on Issuu), social channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube), and email. Technology is primarily off-the-shelf SaaS (Zoom, Google Analytics, Issuu, FreeWill, PayPal) — there is no proprietary AI or ML capability.

Revenue is generated through four diversified streams: recurring collegiate membership dues, Foundation donations and multi-tier giving programs (Leadership Circle up to $8,500 Platinum; Life Loyal Roll at $299 cumulative), merchandise sales through shopalphachi.com, and biennial National Convention registration (63rd scheduled July 17-19, 2026 in Dallas). Chapter housing revenue and capital flows are managed through the NHC and Local House Corporations. The go-to-market is event-driven Greek recruitment at the campus level, with engagement layered through lifetime alumnae programming, volunteer networks, and structured donor stewardship.
