Our Story

We, the alumni of the Alpha Iota chapter of Alpha Chi Omega, are the very proud owners of the Daniel Webster Robinson House. 10 years after our chapter was chartered at the University of Vermont, we began operating out of our beautiful facility at 384 Main Street.

Our time in Alpha Iota was more than just a collegiate experience; it’s where we found lifelong friendships, grew into leaders, and built a foundation that shaped who we are today. At the center of those memories is our home at 384 Main Street.

Since 1931, this historic house has welcomed and supported generations of Alpha Iota women. Its original 1885 architecture, unique design and custom woodwork remains intact - a testament to the care and dedication of those who came before us. But today, the home is in need of meaningful investment to ensure it can continue to serve future sisters.

This campaign with fund projects focused on improving safety, functionality, and day-to-day living conditions, while preserving the historic character that makes this space so special. These updates are essential to ensuring Alpha Iota remains a place where women can thrive for the next 100 years.

We are inviting you to join us in this effort.

Your gift today will directly support the preservation of 384 Main Street and the experience of every member who calls it home. Whether large or small, your contribution plays a vital role in securing the future of Alpha Iota.

Please consider making a gift and joining us in this once-in-a-generation effort to honor our past and invest in our future.

NOTE: Donations made directly via this page are not tax-deductible.

Tax-deductible donations can be made via the Alpha Chi Omega foundation HERE - your support will still be tracked via GiveButter and contribute to our annual goal.

Introducing The Alpha Iota Legacy Walk

We are excited to share our plan for a new walk way at the chapter facility.

As we work toward restoring our to the chapter facility, we wanted to incorporate a commemorative element that highlights the history of our chapter and this historic building.

This new walkway will do just that: it will feature engraved pavers that highlight the history of our chapter and this historic building. and will provide all of YOU with an opportunity to leave your mark at 384 Main.

This is a great opportunity to celebrate your initiate or graduating class, commemorate a sisters’ accomplishments, honor a loved one, or leave a message for future new members.

You can donate as an individual, or start a team for your initiation or graduate class by clicking "become a fundraiser" above.
