"DVA is something that goes untalked about way too often. It is an extremely important issue that many women and children endure without being able to speak up. I am so thankful that I am a part of an organization where I can help make a difference in these people’s lives by interacting directly with the Women’s Center and giving my time, energy, and service to a cause much bigger than myself."

"DVA, to me, is about shedding light on an issue that affects countless lives and often goes unseen. It’s a commitment to supporting survivors, educating others, and fostering a society that stands against abuse. Raising awareness means empowering individuals with knowledge and resources, so no one has to face these struggles alone."

"Shedding light on how common domestic violence occurrences are has weighed heavily on my heart. After visiting the Women's Center of Tarrant County, I was moved after listening to Roberta talk about the work done there and how large of a role Alpha Chi plays in supporting their efforts. I have a strong desire to participate in any effort possible to assist in creating a safe haven for victims of domestic violence."
