Beneficiaries

For more than 65 years, the Chi Omega Alumnae Association of Houston has proudly supported local charities in our community and the academic pursuits of collegiate women.

Since 1957, we have contributed over $2.1 million in financial support, along with countless volunteer hours, to The Center for Pursuit in Houston.  The Center promotes the pursuit of choice, growth and independence for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism or similar conditions.

Through 2023, our alumnae association has also granted nearly $300,000 in scholarships to 179 recipients from the Houston-area attending university campuses across the country.  Each year, undergraduate members of Chi Omega are invited to apply for a Chi Omega Kaleidoscope scholarship grant in recognition of their outstanding academic achievement and their leadership on campus and in the community.  We also fund a Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Association  scholarship annually that is open to active members of any National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sorority.

In addition, our local fundraising efforts have enabled us to donate nearly $150,000 to the Chi Omega Foundation in order to fund important educational and leadership training programs for Chi Omega members, as well as other critical tools and resources to support the needs of chapters nationwide.
