Omega Phi Alpha consists of a group of diverse and astounding young women who share a passion for reaching out to others. The members of Omicron Chapter have impacted many lives, which has lead to their development into young, proud women of prestige. The sorority of Omega Phi Alpha has a lot to offer young women at the university level and members take full advantage of all opportunities to contribute to making the world a better place.
“If someone listens, or stretches out a hand, or whispers a kind word of encouragement, or attempts to understand a lonely person, extraordinary things begin to happen.”
– Loretta Girzartis
Each semester, the sisters of Omega Phi Alpha complete service projects in these seven areas:
Any that address issues affecting university students, benefits anyone or any organization on campus, and/or improve any aspects of university life.
Any that benefit the citizens in the local area or enhance community life. One Community-at-Large project is done each semester by the active sisters.
Any project that aids in a worldly cause or address issues that affect the people of the world.
Any project that has the goal of contributing to the betterment of any active sister in the sorority. This is not limited to just the local chapter.
Each National President chooses a project for the sorority to focus on for that year. Developing the Sisterhood was chosen to encourage growth within each chapter. This can be done by fundraising to each more people, character development, or enhancing communication among all the sisters.
The National Permanent Project was chosen by Nationals and is observed by each chapter once per semester. The national permanent project for Omega Phi Alpha is Mental Health. We assist with any project that aids in awareness or benefits anyone that is in contact with mental health issues.
Each chapter gets to choose a specific project that they wish to focus on year after year. The Omicron chapter chose to help children with special needs. This project benefit any child or group of children that need assistance with something that is important to them. Omicron strives to reach as many children with this project as possible.
