Healthy Relationships Week
february 10-14, 2025
As part of our philanthropic mission, Alpha Chi Omega's Healthy Relationships Week serves as a reminder to foster and develop healthy relationships and, by so doing, prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. The week’s programming is open to all who wish to create real change in their community – both members and nonmembers!
Self-LOVe
To celebrate Healthy Relationships Week this year, we’re turning the focus inward, celebrating our relationships with ourselves! We encourage you to embrace self-love and self-compassion and recognize the foundation of healthy relationships starts from within. How we think about and treat ourselves is the first relationship we embark on and sets the stage for all other connections in our lives. We hope you’ll join us in practicing healthy self-love this week!
Learn, Connect and Celebrate
Program with purpose
Check out our new Program with Purpose called Love Yourself, Love Others, which dives into the essential role self-love plays in fostering healthy relationships. Through this program, participants will also make Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) Day cards as a way to reflect on and appreciate the strengths and qualities of themselves and those around them.
Alpha chi night out
Celebrate Galentine’s Day with Alpha Chi Night Out on Thursday, February 13! Members worldwide are encouraged to spend time with Alpha Chis on this special day. Meet up for dinner, gather for a game night or simply FaceTime a sister – no matter what you do, it is the perfect day to celebrate the Alpha Chi relationships in your life!
Make a plan to connect with a sister or attend an Alpha Chi Night Out event. Find an event in your area or share one you're hosting via our online form.
February alumnae book club
Join the AXO Alumnae Book Club! The Alumnae Book Club reads a book and has a virtual discussion each month. February’s book is Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade by Janet Skeslien Charles. In a nod to Healthy Relationships Week, this book is the story of how one woman’s journey impacts France’s literary landscape through female friendships, the power of books and unending hope. Join the Facebook group to get started and participate in the virtual discussion February 24-28.
share what healthy love is to you!
To help you celebrate all the healthy relationships in your life and share resources with others, Alpha Chi Omega has created graphics, printable resources and brand assets, available in our HRW Toolkit Google Drive. You can print these materials at home or with a local printer to distribute to your campus or community. Many of the graphics are designed to post on social media as part of our annual Love Is… campaign.
Share Your Photos
The best part is anyone can participate in a Love Is… campaign – not just members of Alpha Chi Omega! Be sure to tag @AlphaChiOmegaHQ when posting your HRW photos and upload them to photos.alphachiomega.org for the chance to be featured on headquarters’ social media or in future marketing materials!
