A Letter from Our Recruitment Chair

Welcome to Alpha Chi Omega at MIT! Here, you'll learn about all the activities we participate in as a chapter, both social and philanthopic. On our events page, you can learn more about our organization's chief cause, Domestic Violence Awareness, and our relationship with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center . You'll also learn about our beautiful house, which is located in the heart of Boston by Fenway Park, just across the river from MIT's campus. Finally, you'll have the opportunity to discover a bit about our sisters , their leadership roles, and the values of our organization. Of course, you can't learn everything about our sorority from our web page. That is why we encourage you to sign up for Panhellenic Recruitment. Through this process, you can find out more about Alpha Chi Omega and the other sororities at MIT. You can learn more about Recruitment at the MIT Panhel website . Thank you for your interest in Alpha Chi Omega. Please feel free to email me with any questions about Alpha Chi Omega and our recruitment. Sincerely, Katie

Recruitment FAQ

How can I become an Alpha Chi?
Sign up for formal recruitment through the MIT Panhel website. Through the recruitment process, you will be able to meet members of each of the sororities on campus and find a house that is right for you.

Are sisters required to live in the Alpha Chi mansion?
Our home holds 25 sisters, so no one is required to live in the house if she does not want to. However, the option of living in the house is available to all sisters. Additionally, all sisters are welcome to come to the house for dinner, to hang out, study, bake, etc. whenever she wants.

Does Alpha Chi Omega haze their new members?
Absolutely not. We do not believe that anything constructive results from that sort of behavior.

Does Alpha Chi Omega endorse drinking at their events?
We have a strict risk policy which does not condone underage drinking or any risky behavior at our events. Furthermore, there are no alcoholic substances permitted in the Alpha Chi mansion at any time. We strongly adhere to this policy as it is in the best interest of our sisters.

What do dues go toward?
Sister dues help us support our programming, maintain our house, and provide dinner and other food for our sisters. Additionally, it helps fund events we put on for both the chapter and the general campus. For more information regarding finances, please contact our VP Finance, Emily.

Is financial assistance available?
Absolutely. A sister may set up a payment plan with our VP Finance, Emily. There are also a variety of scholarships and member assistance grants available from the National Alpha Chi Omega Foundation.

Who can I contact if I have more questions? Please feel free to contact our President, Margaret. She will be more than happy to answer your questions.
