Each semester, the Alpha Omega Pi Sorority participates in numerous philanthropic events because we believe that it truly makes a difference in other people's lives, not to mention our own.
For the past four semesters we have participated in a wheelchair basketball game with our brother fraternity, Sigma Nu Chi. We compete against a professional wheelchair basketball team. Needless to say, they beat us every time; however, we have a blast playing and help raise money for exceptional children at the same time.
We host the Greek God Competition every spring for breast cancer and donate the money to the American Cancer society. We have also donated to Alternatives For Battered Women, served at soup kitchens, visited nursing homes, participated in the Ronld McDonald House, Althezimer's Walk, Relay for Life, Multiple Sclerosis Walk, American Red Cross Blood Drive, and adopted a family for the holidays, amongst various other philanthropic efforts. In the past we have had a date auction in which the proceeds went to ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease).
If you have any questions about our Philanthropic activities, please contact Theresa Traver at tt4@geneseo.edu.
