Permanent Chapter Projects
Cards for the SSNDs
Since Notre Dame of Maryland University's founding in 1863, the School Sisters of Notre Dame have been an integral part of the campus community. The sisters have become like family to the students of Notre Dame so, whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day or Easter, the ladies of Alpha Iota never fail to send them hand-made cards to show their appreciation.
The Clothesline Project
​
Notre Dame’s Clothesline Project is part of a national campaign to build awareness and bear witness to violence against women. At Notre Dame, it is a collaborative service learning project for students, who prepare by conducting T-shirt message-designing workshops for women at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women. The messages on the T-shirts are created by women who are survivors of violence, or in honor of loved ones harmed by violence.
Tabs for the Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and know they are making a difference for families and children.
Since Alpha Iota's founding in 2009, our sisters have collected and donated more than 250,000 soda tabs.
