Activities
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.

Social Events
With 3 mixers, 2 date parties, and 1 formal every semester, team social definitely has their hands full.  They are responsible for coming up with new and exciting themes, as well as negotiating with the venues the parties are held at.  The social chairs and their teams work closely together to ensure that every detail of the event is both safe and fun.  Go Team Social!

Campus Activities
Campus Activities is the committee in charge of informing the chapter of upcoming events on campus and trying to get more involvement for these activities.     Examples of activities include sporting events, community service opportunities, and spirit events around the Tulane campus and surrounding areas.  Our team is responsible for coordinating the logistics of the events in which we take part.

Our Story
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.
Scholarship
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.
Scholarship
Scholarship in Chi Omega encourages well-rounded ladies with an emphasis on academia.  Such activities as weekly study hours at the house, tutoring, and recognition of academic achievements cultivate a communal effort to ensure the importance of scholarly endeavors.  The Scholarship team and its committee members are always available for guidance and open to suggestions as to how the Rho Chapter can enhance the education of each of its members.

Career Development
The Career Development Team of Rho Chapter is dedicated to preparing our members for life in the working world. It is dedicated to leading chapter members along the best paths to achieve their career objectives while they are in still in college. Networking is the foundation of the Career Development team and its goals. By linking the members with one another and alumni in the working world, Career Development works to promote a strong Chi Omega network. The Career Development team assists, promotes and encourages the chapter to take full advantage of the career opportunities offered by Tulane University and Chi Omega.  Activities include Senior Spotlight, Career Speakers, Career Events on Campus, Networking Events, Resume Writing Sessions, and a Senior Etiquette Luncheon.
Service
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.
Symphony
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.
