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.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
