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.




The Psi Lambda Chapter of Chi Omega was founded in 1984 at Valdosta State University.  This past year we celebrated our 25th year Anniversary at VSU.  Over the years, Chi Omega at VSU has had many great accomplishments, some recent ones are:

2007, 2008, & 2009 Homecoming Week Champions

Interesting Facts
1 in every 4 sorority girls is a Chi Omega.
Chi Omega is the 2nd largest women's organization in the US next to The Girl Scouts of America.
Chi Omega is the largest women's fraternal organization with 173 collegiate chapters, over 300,000 initiated member, and approximately 16,000 active collegiate members each year.
Chi Omega is the only sorority that does not initiate until a member has made her grades.  Scholarship  should always come first.  For this reason, we are proud that Chi Omega's national grade point average exceeds the national all women's GPA and national all sorority GPA.
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 Sisters of Chi Omega are excited for you to participate in Recruitment 2010!

Every girl's dream is to be a part of something greater than herself. Joining the Greek Life system at Valdosta State University is the perfect way to do just that. Greek Life gives you a chance to serve your community, attain leadership skills, and make friends for life. The Greeks here at VSU have a special bond in that we are a thriving community of young people, constantly willing to lend ourselves to the greater good of Valdosta State and the south Georgia area. We hope you find your place in one of our many organizations.

The Psi Lambda chapter of Chi Omega is an extraordinarily well-rounded group of young women. Sister Karen Gramlich recently won the Greek Achiever award while Chi Omega as a whole was recognized for excellence in Leadership and Campus Activities. On top of maintaining good grades and a well-balanced social life, Chi Omegas participate in numerous campus activties and honors organizations like College of Republicans, Alpha Lamda Delta, and SIFE. Further, our sisters contribute to VSU's community and the city of Valdosta through countless community service efforts, both for our philanthrophy Make-A-Wish and for those of other on-campus organizations, throughout the school year.  Last Fall, we held an event called Charity Denim where anyone could buy designer jeans for discounted prices, and portions of the sales went directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation!  Another fun part of being a Chi Omega is participating in intramurals!  We play all sorts of sports all year long in preparation for Greek Week, the ultimate Greek sporting event week.  We're well-known for having the best sisterhood on campus, meaning we truly love to be with our sisters.

We look forward to meeting you in the Fall!  Recruitment begins August 11, 2010 and runs through August 16, 2010.  More information regarding outfits and other detials can be found on the Greek Life page of VSU's website.
