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.
Chi Thetas love to be active on campus and in their communities! Each woman is involved with at least two other organizations besides Chi Omega. On campus they are involved in Pageants, Intramurals, Service, Panhellinc, Spirit Masters, Up Til' Dawn,  and Honors College just to name a few. In the community they are involved with Bowling Green Humane Society, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, employment, BG 10K, Relay for Life, and others. They strive to be well rounded women that young girls can look up to.

Chi Theta is so proud of all its members and we are so excited to add more names to the list in the fall after recruitment!

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.


Recruitment
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.
