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.


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.





Recruitment is by far one of our favorite times of the year! We encourage you to get involved in Furman's amazing greek system and see for what all the funs about!

Scholarship
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.
Service
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.


Chi Omega is extremely involved on and off campus.  Every year, we are one of the smallest chapters to grant the wish of a girl from South Carolina for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.  We spend the year raising money through several fundraising events including: a cornhole tournament, Christmas caroling, car washes, raffles, and more!  As a chapter, we also serve the local community through volunteering at the Greenville Humane Society throughout the year. However, our sorority's commitment to community service does not stop with our national philanthropies. We have also spent afternoons tutoring at-risk youth and children, Saturdays helping to build a house for Habitat for Humanity, and also volunteer for events on campus and through the Heller Service Corps.
