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.                        

                

Fortunately, four members were able to attend Convention 2008: Gateway to Sisterhood in St. Louis, MO!

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of our alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has honored Chi Omega for the incredible volunteer efforts of our members.

---

Over the past biennium, Chi Omegas have organized and sponsored successful events through volunteer and fund-raising projects that have raised both financial support and public awareness of this important cause. 



Chi Omega is now a Gold Level Sponsor with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Since the alliance was established in 2001, Chi Omegas have raised over $3.8 million and donated over 238,000 volunteer hours for local Make-A-Wish chapters.  To see the joyous smiles on the faces of all wish children and their families is living proof of the giving spirit of all Chi Omegas.

This past semester, we were able to grant two wishes! It was truly the highlight of our semester.

Psi Chapter raises money for Make-A-Wish in numerous ways:
- Dad's Day "Hottest Dad Contest" (Each member decorates a shoe box with pictures of their dad and other members and their families vote on who has the "Hottest Dad!"
- Mom's Day "Silent Auction" (We would not be able to have this event without our wonderful Mom's Club and alumnae chapters.  This is an event many people look forward to all year! This past fall, our raffle included a handpainted Razorback statue, an iPhone, and an exclusive Hobo wallet from Mason's.)

It all began on April 5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas when four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 260,000 women. This small band of women founded Chi Omega after realizing a need for an organization that would foster both friendship and respect for the potential and inherent value of women. Over the years, Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship - striving to provide each Sister with a commitment to personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership opportunities and social enrichment.

Here at Psi Chapter at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, we have the privilege of being surrounded with our Fraternity's rich history.  Located close to campus are the graves of our founders, Jobelle Holcombe and Dr. Charles Richardson.  Our chapter house is listed on the National Historic Registry.  Psi chapter donated the Chi Omega Greek Theatre and the Chi Omega Foundation to the University.  The Greek Theatre is the largest donation by a Greek Organization to a university and is the only strucutre of its kind in the United States.  Each peprally is held at the Greek Theatre! It is very special to be a part of this chapter which has now initiated over 3,000 wonderful women!

Career and Personal Development prepares us for life’s work and makes us marketable regardless of the path we choose.  Sisters serve as mentors and coaches along the way.  Chi Omega promotes personal growth and teaches us to work earnestly at whatever we choose to do.

Chi Omega is FUN! Every year, over 5,000 young women across America join the largest women’s fraternity in the world for sisterhood and lifelong friendships.
 

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.


Psi Chapter placed first in GPA for Fall 2008, Spring 2008 and Spring 2009. Recently Chi Omega received the Order of Omega Chancellor's Award and this spring Chi Omega received special recognition for our outstanding achievements at our National Convention 2009. 

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.

This past year Psi Chapter was able to grant two wishes to children in the Northwest Arkansas area through the Make-A-Wish foundation, our national philanthropy. Our members also participated throughout the year in multiple community service opportunities throughout the Northwest Arkansas area.

Chi Omega’s symbols are a visual representation of our purposes and ideals.

The Chi Omega Symphony has reflected the purposes of Chi Omega members since its composition in 1904 by Ethel Switzer Howard on the eve of her initiation into the Xi Chapter of Chi Omega at Northwestern University.

---

Chi Omega's symphony stands the test of time... it too represents a timeless choice.  Our symphony exemplifies goals to which Chi Omegas aspire.  Because Chi Omega is like a symphony- each individual, just like a single instrument, is unique and necessary.  It is when the individuals come together, just like an orchestra, that a symphony results.  It is important for each member of Chi Omega to be herself.  Each Chi Omega has individual talents to contribute to our sisterhood, but our chapter and Fraternity are most successful when the group comes together as a whole.

Welcome to the new Psi Chapter of Chi Omega website!  As the founding chapter, we are able to experience Chi Omega in a way that not many are lucky enough to take part in.  We are extremely proud of the rich history and tradition behind the Chi Omega sisterhood on the University of Arkansas campus.  We are honored to be a part of the LARGEST WOMEN'S FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD!
