The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of our alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has honored Chi Omega for the incredible volunteer efforts of our members. Over the past biennium, Chi Omegas have organized and sponsored successful events through volunteer and fund-raising projects that have raised both financial support and public awareness of this important cause. Since the beginning of the alliance, Chi Omega has raised over $37 million and donated over 1.5 million hours to the Foundation. Since 2002, Chi Omega Fraternity has raised enough money for Make-A-Wish to grant over 1000 wishes to children with critical illnesses.

Eta Kappa is proud to put on their long-running Wish Week, devoting an entire week to raising money for Make-A-Wish and raising awareness about the organization. Eta Kappa has two major events during the year to fundraise: Spaghetti Dinner in the Spring and ChiHOP in the Fall. The sisters open their house all day to ticket buyers for all-you-can-eat spaghetti and pancakes. Their chapter has donated over 10,000 hours and over $175,000 to Make-A-Wish.

In 2024, Eta Kappa was honored to receive recognition from Chi Omega Nationals for donating the most hours to Make-A-Wish in their region. This included our sisters donating almost 1,000 hours and raising almost $12,000 to help grant wishes to kids with critical illnesses.
