Alpha Omega Sorority focuses on philanthropy work, overall sisterhood support, academic success, and positive social integration. Alpha Omega is a local sorority meaning everything we do derives from our founding at Laurier. Our sisters in Waterloo have created our own by-laws, which includes a strict no hazing policy. The Alpha Omega motto is “Harmony through Individuality” and sisters genuinely appreciate each young woman’s uniqueness. Although we may have our own strengths and weaknesses, we come together to work hard for our education, raise money for the people and animals that need support, and strive to be the best we can be socially, physically, and emotionally. Our main charity is Anselma House, run by Women's Crisis Services of Waterloo Region. Anselma House is a shelter for women and their children who have dealt with domestic violence and abuse. Through the shelter, women are able to get the necessities and support they need to get back on their feet through rehabilitation and more. Alpha Omega raises money for Anselma House mainly through our annual "Breakfast in Bloom" charity brunch and our bi-annual "Guilty Pleasures" all-you-can-eat bake sale. Our second philanthropic endeavour is Black Women in Motion, an organization based in Toronto, ON that supports Black womxn and survivors of sexual violence. Alpha Omega Raises money for BWIM through our Greek Week event each year. In the past we have done other fundraisers for Save The Manatee Foundation; these have been "AΩ Game Show", "Singing Under the Sea", "AΩ Game Show", and more.
