W
hy? Why do I volunteer for so
many organizations, including
Alpha Chi Omega, is a question I
receive almost monthly. My response should
be "Why not?" Instead, I share a story of
meeting wonderful women, being set up with
my husband by a pledge sister, and learning
the power of philanthropy. What is your
why? There is a reason you are reading this
newsletter cover to cover. Think back to what
you loved about Alpha Chi Omega and how
Alpha Chi connected you to the people in
your life now. Find your why and reach out to
a sister today. Please join your area alumnae
group and then challenge a sister to join with
you. We want to see you and we want to
connect with you today. Why? Because we
appreciate you and we miss you.
