I’m working hard to get all of the 26 organizations affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference showcased here on Simply Sorority. I’m excited to showcase Chi Omega for the first time!
As you may know, I’m a Chi Omega alumna along with my older sister – yes, we’re sisters in two ways! She is currently an advisor for the Kappa Alpha Chapter of Chi Omega (Kansas State University), and the active members held a philanthropy earlier this week.

- Casino Night
Casino Night was held at the Chi Omega house on campus, as the sisters opened their dining room to the community for a friendly competition of Texas Hold ‘Em and Blackjack. For a $15 donation, guests received a t-shirt, food and poker chips to play.

You can see they had a great turnout – around 100 people attended! So what was this philanthropy benefiting? These Chi Omega sisters were raising money for their local Make-A-Wish chapter in Wichita, Kansas.

Specifically, the money is going to help grant wishes for two brothers who both have a rare form of muscular dystrophy. One brother wants to go to Florida to visit Pixar Studios, and the other wants to visit Alaska to see the stars.

- Advisor, President & Personnel Chair
Chi Omega established an alliance with Make-A-Wish in 2002, and chapters are asked to raise funds for their local Make-A-Wish organizations. It’s a great way to support a national cause on the local level.

So far, the Kappa Alpha Chapter has raised over $1,000 for Make-A-Wish. Every donation helps, as it costs over $7,000 to grant a wish!
I’d like to congratulate these sisters for organizing a wonderful event for such a great cause!
Has your chapter ever organized a casino theme philanthropy?
