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.

Eta Kappa's Story
In February 1978, the local sorority was founded as Sigma Chi Omega Sorority by Anita Benschop, Julie Boxell, Marty Dixon, Trudy Hellman, Tina Gouty and Karen McCoy.  On February 3, 1979, the local sorority was colonized by Chi Omega with 18 members.  By April 29, 1979, the chapter had grown to 27 pledges and 6 advisors when it was installed as the Eta Kappa Chapter of Chi Omega.  The ladies of the Eta Kappa Chapter moved into what is now the original part of our house in August 1979. 
Frances Land Leach, the wife of a Missouri S & T graduate, made a generous donation to help buy furniture for the chapter house.  An addition was built onto the Eta Kappa's chapter house in 1981 and the house now contains 23 bedrooms.  In 1990, a large deck was added onto to the back of the chapter house.  Janet Wickey, an Eta Kappa alumna, made a generous donation to redecorate the front rooms of the chapter house.   All the bedrooms were also updated in the summer of 2009.
Eta Kappa celebrated its 15th Anniversary as a chapter of Chi Omega in 1994, its 20th Anniversary in 1999, and 25th Anniversary in 2004.  We recently celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2009.

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.

The members of Chi Omega encourage everyone to go through recruitment, even if you are not sure you want to join a sorority. Recruitment allows you to learn more about each sorority and get acquainted with what Greek life is all about!

Chi Omega is someone who believes in your intrinsic potential; who has a vision for your future; who will support you with lifelong commitment and sisterhood. It's the hand that you hold when you're afraid. The companionship that turns a moment into a memory. The voice that says," I will be here for you."
