This month we're learning about specific ways Alpha Chi Omega Foundation helps in the fight against domestic violence. Education is a powerful tool, especially in dispelling myths. Do you think domestic violence discriminates on the basis of socio-economic standing? Do you think being wealthy might protect a woman from abuse?

After you watch this video, you'll know the truth:
