Participation in Activities develops us into well-rounded people.  We engage with others to develop outside interests and expose us to new and differing points of view.   By contributing in the larger world, we demonstrate that Chi Omega makes a difference in the lives of women.

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.



The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

The Mu Beta chapter of Chi Omega held their annual Casino Night on March 30, 2010 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of GA-AL. Casino players won tickets which they exchanged for great prizes including golf outings, a Betsy Johnson dress, bags & accessories, restaurant gift certificates and autogroahed jerseys from Matthew Stafford, Michael Oher and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees.

We were able to raise over $19,000, which will be used to grant wishes for children in the Greater Athens region. We are proud to support this organization and feel blessed that our contributions help enrich the lives of children right here in Georgia.

"Make-a-Wish Foundation is one of the most wonderful organizations that I have ever worked with--the kids and their familes are amazing and working with them is so rewarding!  I love Make-a-Wish and would encourage anyone to get involved with this organization!"

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 Mu Beta Chapter of Chi Omega, founded on April 21, 1922, was the second sorority at the University of Georgia. It was founded by Mrs. Arthur Gannon, with Mrs. Claude Chance being the first pledge. Over the years it has grown from one room in Peabody Hall moving almost every year in the first eight years. In 1930, they rented the home of Mrs. Charles Phinizy and finally bought the property in 1939. That property is now the home of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. 

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.

We have many opporuntities for leadership development by serving as members of the chapter executive board, committee chairmen, social event planners and community service event chairmen.

Our sisters also serve as leaders in many organizations across the UGA campus.

Membership in Chi Omega is for a lifetime, not just the collegiate years. We are fortunate to work closely with the alumnae members of our chapter advisory board and our house corporation.

Fall 2009 - We enjoyed the annual personal safety class taught by UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson. We appreciate his concern for helping us stay safe.

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. When is Recruitment?
Recruitment 2010 will begin on August 10 with Recruitment Orientation and end on August 16 with Bid Day. Here are some important dates for Recruitment 2010:

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.

Mu Beta chapter is proud to have an overall chapter GPA that exceeds the UGA All-women's average and the All-sorority average.

We are proud to have two UGA Foundation Fellows:
Jaime Ayers, 3rd year
*****, 4th year

We have two chapter scholarships that are managed by the Chi Omega Foundation:
The Kate Jeter Memorial Scholarship - awarded to a new member
The Mu Beta Scholarship - awarded to a rising senior
These are awarded each April at our annual Founders' Day banquet.

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.


In the Fall of 2009 we had a great time hosting our annual Dawgs For A Cause cookout.  We raised $5,000 for Project Safe, a local program for victims of domestic violence.

Fall 2009 - a Chi Omega team participated in the Light the Night walk benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Spring 2010 - our Relay for Life team had another great year participating in the UGA Relay event and raising funds for the American Cancer Society.

Chi Omega’s symbols are a visual representation of our purposes and ideals.

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.
