Letter from Brittany Bivins, President of the Tau Kappa Chapter of Chi Omega.

Welcome to the Tau Kappa chapter of Chi Omega! We are so excited for fall recruitment and are thrilled to give you a glimpes into our sisterhood! Chi Omega has been a part of the University of Montevallo since 1971, and we are very proud of our history of excellence on this campus. Chi Omegas make up many different majors here at Montevallo, play on both sides of College Night, and serve positions in numerous clubs and organizations.

I joined this chapter in 2008 after two years at Montevallo of not being Greek. I can honestly say that becoming part of an organization like Chi Omega was one of the best decisions I have made. Sorority life gives you a unique opportunity to meet and connect with women who have the similar values and goals, as well as meet women who can give you a new perspective on life! Chi Omegas are dedicated to scholarship and community service, and we strive to be exemplary sisters and leaders. Of course, we manage to have lots of fun along the way!

I hope that you are as excited as we are about the fall recruitment period. Please feel free to browse our site and visit our national website to learn more about what Chi Omega has to offer. See you on campus!

With Chi O Love,
Brittany

Make-A-Wish Foundation

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.

In April 2012, the Tau Kappa chapter held the first annual Swishes for WIshes event. Sororities and fraternities on campus battled it out on the basketball court raising over $600 for The Make-A-Wish Foundation!

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.

We are proud to be the largest women's fraternal organization in the world!

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.

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.
