_Alpha Chi Omega's national philanthropy is Domestic Violence Awareness. Thus, many of our philanthropy events are devoted to raising domestic violence awareness or raising money for institutions that shelter battered women. In October, which is domestic violence awareness month, we hold the annual Luminary Project to commemorate those victimized by domestic violence and raise awareness to prevent such brutality in the future.

We hold several fundraisers to donate money to the Women's Shelter of Pittsburgh and the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation in order to support their efforts in ending domestic violence through events such as the Annual Vera Bradley Sale. The Vera Bradley sale is held every February and co-sponsored by Cheeks Boutique in Shadyside. All proceeds go the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation.
