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.

Chi Gamma originally started as a local sorority called Alpha Nu Sigma. On December 29th, 1923 we became a chartered member of the Chi Omega Fraternity. Chi Omega is the oldest of the three sororities on the Marietta campus with 85 years of sisterhood. Currently we have over 1,500 alumni all over the world. Though we are small, we stand strong and look forward to our many years to come.


  • Founding Date: April 5, 1895 a the University of Arkansas.
  • First Chapter Name: Psi Chapter.
  • Founding Members: 5 founders - 14 original members.
  • From the beginning, Chi Omega's leaders had the foresight to create a national organization.
  • The founders wore ribbons tied together on their blouses to tease the boys. The colors of the ribbons were olive and crushed plum. Why? Because they were the ugliest colors the founders put together!
  • Dr. Richardson crafted the pin out of dental gold.
  • Chi Omega was founded on Six Purposes.
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.
In charge of Career and Personal Development this year is: Carm!
But even the best need somebody to back them up, her
committee group is
Karlie,
Christina Johns,
Carrie,
Amy.

Got along without you before I met you but I sure couldn't do it now!

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.


*February- Chi Gamma chapter decided the best way to give back to someone around the most romantic day of the year is to make some valentines for the U.S.S Boone. Hopefully they really enjoyed reading them :)

*March-TBA

*April- TBA


Chelsey Scott is charge of setting up all the community service that we do. But she sure couldn't do it without the help of Ashley Wagner, Brittany, Emily Davis,Megan Mirones, and Sarah Griffin.

Our philanthropy is the Make A Wish Foundation. We alligned with them in 2002 and since then we've tried to raise lots of money!


Sisters Flourish
Sisters of Chi Gamma are always Flourishing.  We strive to the best of our abilities, never settling for mediocre. Here are just a few of our sisters who show what it ultimately  means to be a sister and Flourish.



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


Chi Omega Greek Letters are the X and the Omega (horseshoe). Every Chi Omega may use and wear our letters. Not knowing the Greek language, the Chi Omega Founders cut cardboard into the shapes of Greek letters, shuffled, arranged and rearranged them on the floor until they found the monogram, CHI OMEGA. They liked the combination - Jobelle said it reminded them of the emblems classically used by secret societies - and they decided Chi Omega would be the name of the sorority.

Chi Omega's Crest was adopted in 1902. Centered on the crest is the white carnation, with the Chi to the left and the Omega to the right of the flower. Above these symbols are both the skull and crossbones and the owl. Beneath the carnation are the five letters, Rho, Beta, Upsilon, Eta and Sigma. A laurel wreath, used by ancient Greeks to honor scholars and heroes, surrounds all of the emblems known and loved by Chi Omegas. Only initiated members may wear or use the crest on novelties, stationery and jewelry.


Chi Omega's flag has five vertical stripes, three of cardinal and two of straw, extending from a wider horizontal cardinal bar at the top. Embroidered on the top bar is a stylized white carnation.

Chi Omega's badge is a monogram of the Greek letter "Chi" superimposed over the Greek letter "Omega." The fourteen stones, always pearls or diamonds, are set into the badge. Dr. Charles Richardson, one of Chi Omega's Founders, crafted our first badge from dental gold. Only initiated members may wear the badge.


Chi Omega's Open Declaration is "Hellenic Culture and Christian Ideals." This statement summarizes the foundation of Chi Omega. Our members recognize the efforts and enlightenment of the Greek world and they strive to uphold the values of a Judeo Christian lifestyle.

Chi Omega's colors are cardinal (red) and straw (yellow). Every Chi Omega may use and wear our colors!

Chi Omega's flower is the white carnation. It was chosen for its pure, delicate white color and its rich, refreshing perfume.

The owl, our mascot, is the most recognizable symbol of Chi Omega.
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.

Chi Omega Symphony
To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed;
to place scholarship before social obligations
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.
