MSU Cribs: Chi Omega

Chi Omega was founded April 5, 1895 at the University of Arkansas, and the Phi Delta chapter of Chi Omega came to Mississippi State University on March 14, 1936. It was the first Greek letter society at Mississippi State University! Chi Omega is the largest women's fraternal organization in the world, with over 143 collegiate chapters, and it definitely shows at the Phi Delta chapter where there are currently 246 active members -- one of the largest chapters on the row.

Chi Omega is known for many things on campus, such as having the highest GPA on the row for the past 21 years, their involvement in their national philanthropy (Make-A-Wish Foundation), their local philanthropy events such as Chi Omega Carnival for the children of Palmer Home and Chi O Cupcakes, and their constant involvement and success in other campus events and offices.

The Chi Omega house is a characteristic mansion-style with white columns and a beautifully landscaped front yard. It has two front balconies perfect for enjoying a warm day, and of course for hanging banners. When you first walk into the house there is a square balcony overlooking the foyer, called the “Owl's Nest." Another fun fact: the stairs leading up to this balcony have a beautiful leopard print design!

Chi Omega sits front and center on sorority row and is one of the largest houses on the row, perfect for accommodating an equally large chapter. Don't let the massiveness of the house fool you, however. It is still homey and welcoming to anyone who stops by!

Congratulations Chi Omega for being this week's MSU Crib of the Week! You have a beautiful house with equally beautiful members who help to make Mississippi State University the best campus it can be! Thank you for your involvement both on campus and in the surrounding community.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
