Our sisters have the amazing opportunity to support, motivate, and inspire one another in a loving and fun environment that is guaranteed to be one of the best times of their lives. While living and learning from one another, we have become one family with memories that will last forever. It has been said that, "A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life." Chi Omega is sisterhood and welcome you to join our family.
Friendship is what binds us to each other and to our Fraternity. The friendships we develop in Chi Omega give us a home across geography and generations and give us lasting support throughout our lives.
Community Service means that we want to make a difference on our campuses and in our communities. We know that giving back to others unselfishly makes the world a better place and makes us better people. Serving and giving helps to connect us.
Sincere Learning and Creditable Scholarship means that we care about our intellectual development. We embrace the spirit and excitement of learning throughout our lives and encourage others to better themselves.
Participation in Activities develops us into well-rounded people. We engage with others to develop outside interests and expose us to new and differing points of view. By contributing in the larger world, we demonstrate that Chi Omega makes a difference in the lives of women.
Sisterhood and High Standards means that we are women of integrity and good character. We have high expectations for ourselves and for our Sisters. We strive daily to be role models to others.
The Chi Omega Symphony is something I have learned to live by these past few months as sister in this wonderful sorority.
To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; to be in the best sense, democratic rather than “exclusive”, and lovable rather than “popular”; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.
Written by Ethel Switzer Howard, Xi Chapter, 1904
