Every sorority has the things they love. Chi Omega has theirs. So, here are a few things that only make sense to Chi Omegas.
1. Owls have become your spirit animal.
At one point in time, owls creeped you out. But now you're a Chi Omega and you love them. Your friends and family always send you pictures of owl thinks that they find at the store. You probably also own a lot owls. Mugs, necklaces, earrings. You just have a lot.
2. Cardinal and straw.
Red and yellow. Ketchup and mustard. You used to hate the color yellow, but now you own yellow shirts and probably a yellow dress or two. The colors also match McDonalds, and you're probably pretty proud of that because, you know, you love food.
3.The 7th Purpose of Chi Omega: Food.
There are six official purposes of Chi Omega. Friendship, scholarship, community service, career development, campus activities, and high standards of personnel. Then there is a seventh purpose, its like an unofficial official purpose. It's food. Every event has food, and if it does't, you probably won't show up. Neither will your other sisters. Chi Omegas love food.
4. The Symphony
Chances are, you have a copy, in a frame, on your wall. You don't entirely know the words, but you know a few of the phrases in it. Like 'womanly always.' You've also probably used a few of the lines from the Symphony as an Instagram caption. We've all done it. You're not alone.
5. Lyn Harris
She is Chi Omega's archivist. You follow her personal account and Chi Omega account on Instagram. She has owl shoes and you love it. You love her, even if you've never met her. You probably wish she was your grandma, tbh.
6. We founded ourselves.
Just because Dr. Charles Richardson helped our glorious founders with creating a sorority and he was a Kappa Sigma Alum, DOES NOT mean Kappa Sigma founded us. You will stand by that statement forever and probably kick someones shin if they try and tell you different. We are independent. Strong. And not part of a fraternity.
7. April 5th
The best day of your life was April 5th, 1895. Even though you weren't born, you're parents probably weren't born either... But April 5th is basically a holiday to you and your sisters. It's Founders Day. You post about how much you love Chi Omega shamelessly on every social media platform you can. And so does everybody else.
If you're not a Chi Omega and you understand these things, chances are, you're my mom and you're tired of my love of Chi Omega.
