Alpha Chi Omega was founded on October 15, 1885, at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. At a time when women were just beginning to occupy seats in college classrooms, seven female students were encouraged by Professor James Hamilton Howe, Dean of DePauw’s School of Music, to form a women’s society within the school.?

Inspired, our Founders formed the sixth women’s fraternity in the country–the first to be in a music school. Sure they would be the last of its kind (dedicated to the appreciation of the arts) the founders chose Alpha and Omega–the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet–to form their name, with “Kai” (meaning “and”) in the middle, later changed to the Greek letter Chi.

Dedicated to advancing “the intellectual, social and moral culture” of its members, our founders’ vision has grown to include our women’s Fraternity, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation and the National Housing Corporation. Together, they serve more than 230,000 members in more than 190 collegiate chapters and 200 alumnae chapters nationwide.

The Iota Omicron Chapter at the University of Lynchburg has been seeking the heights since April 1st, 1993. The sisters of the Iota Omicron Chapter pride ourselves in being Real.Strong.Women.

Flower: Alpha Chi Omega’s flower is the red carnation, exemplifying the fraternity’s colors.

Badge: A Greek lyre of gold, having three twisted strings spanned diagonally by a raised and slightly rounded scroll of black enamel bearing the Greek letter Alpha Chi Omega in gold.

Colors: Alpha Chi Omega’s colors of scarlet red and olive-green were chosen to commemorate the fraternity’s autumn founding in Greencastle, Indiana.

Open Motto: “Together let us seek the heights.”

Traditions: Founders Day (October 15), MacDowell Month (February), and Hera Day (March 1)
