15 Signs You're A Chi Omega

As if your letter shirt, letter bag, "XO" pin and pendant didn't give it away.

In 1895, a group of women (and Dr. Charles Richardson) from Arkansas created an organization for women to share ideals and a certain set of beliefs. 120 years later, Chi Omega has become the largest fraternal organization in the world with over 330,000 initiates and 178 collegiate chapters. Through this growth and expansion, Chi Omega has left a mark on the hearts of all women who have the distinguished honor to bare its crest. Aside from living everyday in the light of its purposes, here are 15 ways to know, without a doubt, you are a Chi Omega:

1. Owls have taken over your entire life.

You even shout, "Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!" when good things happen. It's almost getting out of hand.


2. You have thought (more than once) about naming your cat Jobelle, because…Obviously.

She was one of the first to ever do it and her name is adorable. What else do you need?


3. Every trip you plan with your sisters includes a pit stop in Memphis.

Headquarters is sacred ground and you love it more than your actual house.


4. “Forming the Chi” is your go-to dance move.

We had this move down way before Beyoncé — but she is the queen so we will happily share.


5. When a celebrity throws “XO” in the air, you automatically feel like you are best friends.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis know what's up.


6. “Be womanly always” is your favorite argument.

A sister getting sassy? "Be womanly always." Halloween costume a little too risque? "Be womanly always." Your mom is angry that you spent your paycheck on a new pin-wear dress? "Be womanly always."


7. You get too excited when New Members finally get to say the oath.

It is a proud moment when you hear your rush crush say it during and after initiation. You go, little one!


8. You reserve the right to celebrate 365 days after raising $31,000 for Make-A-Wish.

Need a group of women to work all summer to raise money for a world-wide organization that makes a difference for so many children who need it? Give us a call.

9. Whether or not it is actually true, you definitely have the best group of New Members on campus.

They are ours and we couldn't be more proud. Only the best join the nest.


10. Anytime Angela Kinsey puts a Chi Omega-themed picture on Instagram, the word “sister” is whispered into your heart.

Yes, Sister Kinsey, we feel you. #ChiOTilWeDieO


11. Being featured on National’s social media basically means you’re famous.

Who needs People Magazine when you have Insta?


12. You love Fall more than any other season because it is acceptable to wear cardinal and straw every day of the week.

We look great in anything but you'll never meet another group with so much red and yellow in their closets. Never.


13. You have been raising the young girls in your family to become legacies.

You will be a Chi Omega and you will like it. Unless it's not your thing... Then we will talk.


14. Your heart almost bursts when you see senior sisters crying during “Shades.”

You hold each other at the end of recruitment because you know it will be the last time you sing it for a while.

15. You will never take your letters for granted because you have never been more proud to be apart of something so much bigger than yourself. “Chi Omega, yours forever.”

These women will change your life. And for that, Chi Omega, we thank you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
