Alpha Chi Omega is a proud supporter of domestic violence awareness nationally. Theta Lambda serves this purpose by aiding local domestic violence shelters like Safe Harbor, located in Greenville, SC. Through fundraising and volunteering our time, each of our members strives to assist the Safe Harbor shelters and organization with any and all needs they may have. One in every four women in this country are victims of domestic violence — as Alpha Chis we strive to bring awareness to this statistic, as well as advocate for these women.

Each October, Alpha Chi Omega hosts Walk-A-Mile (In Her Shoes). Campus organizations compete in the event by running a lap around the quad in the event's infamous red high heels. With the relay-style event, teams compete in support of Domestic Violence Awareness. Included with admission to the event is food and live music.
Denim Day, held during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, sheds light on victim-blaming and the challenges survivors face. It started after a court overturned a conviction, claiming the victim’s jeans implied consent. Wearing denim is a simple but powerful way to show support. Our sisters take part by painting denim on the Quad and encourage all of campus to demonstrate support and get involved.
Every February, Alpha Chi Omega proudly participates in Healthy Relationships Week, promoting awareness and fostering conversations about what love truly means. Since 2014, we have taken part in the "Love Is" campaign, setting up a table on Library Bridge to engage students and faculty in our efforts and raise money through our carnation sales. Our sisters share their perspectives on healthy relationships, encourage participation, and raise awareness both on campus and through social media fundraising initiatives.
