Make-A-Wish Foundation
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.
Make-A-Wish has a special place in every Chi Omega's heart! In order to show our full support for the foundation, Chi Chapter hosts an annual dinner and silent auction to raise donations. All of the proceeds from the auction go to granting a wish for a different child each year. We also throw a wish party for the child whose wish we are granting that year! Be sure to ask about Make-A-Wish and a Chi O's favorite Make-A-Wish memory!

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.

Welcome to formal sorority recruitment at Transylvania University! Recruitment is an exciting and unique experience that will allow you the opportunity to meet the women of each sorority on campus. At Chi Omega, we are thrilled to meet each and every one of the young women participating in recruitment this year!

When I went through recruitment two years ago, I wasn't sure where I would belong in the Greek System.  It didn't take me long, however, to discover that my home was at Chi Omega!  From the moment I walked through that red and yellow hall, I found so many incredible women that I knew would be more than just my friends - and they are!  They are the people who challenge me, support me, believe in me and love me.  Simply put, they are my sisters and I have found my "home away from home."    

What makes out house special is not only the diversity of the women within, but the strength of our sisterhood.  We have found a special balance in our sorority, blending fun and laughter with leadership, involvement and academics. Though we each come from a different walk in life, our paths join at Chi Omega and we have all grown so much through our time here.

No matter how you are feeling as you enter the exciting week of recruitment, I hope you will all keep an open mind as you learn about each house.  Every sorority at Transy has something special to offer its members, and you are certain to find your place within the Greek system no matter who you are!

I so look forward to meeting you this September.  Enjoy all that recruitment has to offer, and good luck!

Loyally,

Clarke Waldrop, Recruitment Chair

Symphony
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 obligation 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.

Ethel Switzer Howard, Xi Chapter
1904

Be sure to ask a Chi Omega what the symphony means to her!
