Domestic Violence Awareness Facts
Stop the Silence, End the Violence
The sisters of Alpha Chi Omega promote domestic violence awareness and prevention through the use of education, social media campaigns, and through our efforts to aid the Women's Resource Center of New River Valley.
All of the proceeds from our philanthrophy go directly to the Women's Center. We also collect canned foods and other in-need items for the shelter by working with local grocery stores.
By promoting our philanthrophy, we raise items and funds for the shelter while also spreading our message against domestic violence. The sisters at the Epsilon Tau chapter hope to spread their message to all of their peers at Virginia Tech, inorder to make a safer campus for all.
