The Women & Wisdom mentoring program is one of the many ways Alpha Chi Omega empowers members to connect and reach their potential through the Real. Strong. Women. Experience – and we’re bringing the program to Indianapolis! This in-person, interactive experience will guide mentors and mentees in developing impactful relationships to support them in building skills, achieving goals and identifying areas for growth.
