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.

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.


Here at Appalachian, we pride ourselves on our involvement with the Make-A-Wish foundation. During the school year we work with Jersey Mikes in a program called "Dishes for Wishes." Jersey Mikes has recognized the importance of an organization like Make-A-Wish and graciously works with us every Wednesday by donating a portion of their proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation through the Pi Kappa Chapter.

In addition to the "Dishes for Wishes" program, in the spring of 2007, the Pi Kappa Chapter was chosen as the beneficiary of the "Celebrity Serve" fundraiser. In one very grand day, because of the participation of local restaurants in the Boone area, $47,500 was raised for the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help grant the wishes of children in the Watauga County area. Because of the participation of numerous local businesses and multiple raffles, we were able to accomplish such an amazing feat! Restaurants participating in this fundraiser donated at least 10% of their proceeds from that day, and most generously donated their tips and wages from the evening. Countless residents in the Boone and Blowing Rock area donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To date, the Pi Kappa Chapter at Appalachian State has been able to grant more than 10 wishes since the Celebrity Serve Event, and we are still granting!

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.

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.

Recruitment is such an exciting time of the year and we look forward to great conversations and meeting all of the women that have decided to participate in the PHC formal recruitment process.   All of the members of our chapter have found a home in Appalachian State University, the greek system, and finally in Chi Omega.  Membership in Chi Omega is truly for a lifetime. We wish you all the happiness and friendship that all of us ourselves have found in Chi Omega here at ASU.

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.

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.

In the Spring of 2009 the Pi Kappa chapter raised an outstanding 35,000 dollars as a chapter for the Make @ Wish foundation.  We came together as a chapter and volunteered at the Queen's Cup Steeple Chase.   The members of Pi Kappa also were able to raise for the Watauga Children's Council for our local community.

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.

"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."
