Outrace the Stigma

The Alpha Lambda chapter hosts an annual mental health awareness run supporting the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), focusing on mental health awareness and resources in the North Carolina State University and Triangle area. NAMI, a non-profit, offers education, advocacy, and support for those living with mental illness and their families. Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience mental illness annually. Omega Phi Alpha, a national service sorority with 30 chapters, emphasizes mental health as its permanent project since 1971, dedicated to increasing awareness in the Raleigh area with the motto "Today's friends, tomorrow's leaders, forever in service."
