Personal Development
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.
With resume workshops and networking opportunities, Chi Omega strives to aid each Sister in all facets of her career. Alumni and parents also contribute to the ever growing success of Chi Omega Sisters in their chosen paths in life!
"All I ever really neeed to know about the kind of person I should be, the kind of friend, sister, daughter, wife and mother I should be, I learned from Chi Omega. You see, fulfillment comes not in the muck of theories and theologies, but in the simple truths of life. That is why the creed of Chi Omega is so simple: always be respectful and respectable, always be willing to lend a helping hand and never neglect a person in need, especially a sister. Life itself is such a a simple process, but somewhere between birth and death, we humans tend to confuse and complicate life so much that our version becomes blurred. The beauty of Chi Omega is that she allows us to focus our vision on the simple, important truths in life.
Just think how great the world would be if all of us could get together once a week with the people we love most in the world and remind ourselves of what drew us together in the first place. Or how wonderful it would be if everyone respected traditions set almost a century ago--and still lived by them. If only everyone could see, as Dr. Charles Richardson did, that humble beginnings soon blossom into cherished and revered symbols of a way of life, wrapped in secrecy and shared with scrutiny. And oh how amazing life would be if we could all prioritize to uphold the honor and dignity of ourselves and the people we choose to associate with.
So you see, while all other experiences are certainly important, Chi Omega, will teach you all you need to know. Listen well to these lessons she has to share with you, for she will provide you with a foundation upon which you continue to build for the rest of your lives."
