Meet our fall 2009 Campus Activities Team:

            These two women have taken on the responsibility to keep our members informed and encourage them to participate in campus events/ activities. Some of the activities that they have organized together are the Hootie Hotties basketball, volleyball, and softball teams, as well as our Up Til Dawn teams. They also organized Greek week activities where we took second place overall which included first place in lipsync and first place in Greek Olympics! We are looking forward to homecoming; keep up the amazing work ladies!

            Co-Chair Kristina Bossi: Was once so excited about a basketball game that she painted her whole body blue and white three days before the game.

            Co-Chair Kim Davidson: Could not decide if she wanted to play volleyball or soccer so she started her own soclley team, but it did not really catch on.

Social Team for fall 2009:

            These are the women who organize events with other Greek houses as well as other organizations on campus. They also plan our formals every semester and have recently been extended the duty of planning our new member dinner in the fall. They have planned events such a t-shirt making party, a themed wedding, game night, spa night, and a cookout with one of the fraternities on campus.

            Co-Chair Shelby Belknap: Accidently planned a spa night with a fraternity and not the Panhellenic community; turns out they had great nail beds.

Chi Gamma orginally started as a local sorority called Alpha Nu Sigma. On December 29th, 1923 we became a chartered member of the Chi Omega Fraturnity. Chi Omega is the oldest of the three sororities on the Marietta campus with 85 years of sisterhood. Currently we have 33 active members and over 1,500 alumni all over the world. Though we are small, we stand strong and look forward to our many years to come.

Sisterhood Team for fall 2009:

            Even though as a house we are able to come together as sisters and create a bond that is unexplainable to those who have never been apart of a sisterhood like ours, but there are a few women in our house who are responsible for coming up with new and interesting ways for us to come together as sisters. They have come up with events such as game night, s'more roast, chapter puzzle making, and brunches at our dinning hall. It is events like these that make the memories that will last and create a sisterhood that can not be separated.

            Chair Ashley Knight: Likes to color pictures to leave for her sisters in between the pages of their textbooks. Surprise!

Committee Members:

            Katie Wolfe: Holds weekly advice giving sessions in her room. Available by appointment, call her receptionist for openings.

            Vicki Gilland: Is always willing to practice her reading skills and will read you a bed time story, as long as the book is less than a fifth grade reading level.

            Carrie Rapp: Likes to call in to random radio stations and wish people she knows a happy birthday even if it is not their birthday.

            Jamie Thompson: Once walked to the house in the rain for a sisterhood but then realized the sisterhood was not until the next day. At least she got to try out her new rain boots!

Our Career and Personal development team for fall 2009:

            Flourishing in Chi Omega both personally and professionally is a goal for every member. Our career and personal development team strive to help guide each girl in reaching their goals. In the past semester our career and personal development team have worked together to hold a resume building workshop in conjunction with the college. As well as keeping every informed of the various job opportunities in Marietta and surrounding areas.

            Chair Ashley Wagner: Tried to get someone to come and talk about fire safety in such a large house. Ends up everyone was much more interested in the firemen who came to talk, every girl now knows who to call if there is an emergency.

Committee Members:

            Sarah Griffin: Feels the college students are never over qualified for jobs that pay the bills, too bad no job these days seem to pay the bills.

            Shayla Johnson: Came to her little's flower ceremony with a bunch of flowers strapped to her head, that one is a true story.

            Ashton Deem: Wants to see every girl follow their dreams, unless they lead off a cliff then maybe they should not follow that dream.

We are very excited for formal recruitment this year! September 14^th marks the start of one of the most exciting weeks of the year. Recruitment is more than the parties, singing, and food; it is an opportunity for girls to get to know each of the houses and possibly find sisterhood that lasts a life time. We look forward to meeting you through recruitment and hope that you find a house that fits you.

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

Dates to mark on your calendar:

Monday September 14^th ~ Open House One

Tuesday September 15^th ~ Open House Two

Wednesday September 16^th ~ Chapter Night

Thursday September 17^th ~ Preference Night

Our fall 2009 Scholarship Team:

            These are the women in our chapter who have stood out above the rest academically and want to see their sisters succeed as well. They plan events such as a scholarship recognition dessert, study breaks, provide study tips, and created a book of scholarships sisters in our chapter are eligible to apply for. Their hard work and dedication has helped our chapter maintain above a 3.0 for the past 6 semesters!

Co-Chair Emily Davis: Once climbed to the highest point in Marietta to study; now that is dedication.

Co-Chair Katie Rinaldo: Believes that she is unable to study while the sun is still up, might be she is a vampire or something.

Committee Members

Sarita Dhiraprasiddhi: Remembers things in a Cheer form, just watch out when she has a hard test, she might back flip out of her desk to recall the information.

Leah Mendenhall : Makes her self answer a study question every time she touches the Frisbee in ultimate Frisbee practice.

Jenny Rockhold : Likes to study while watching Disney movies, and singing along with them of course.      

Brittany Aeh: Often makes youtube rap videos before a big test so she can watch herself study later.  

"To place scholarship above social obligation"
 

The Chi Omega Foundation:

            The Chi Omega Foundation's mission is to provide education for our members. We believe teaching leadership skills and techniques is the lynch pin of this effort. By looking at the Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute of Chi Omega, one of our best-known leadership-development programs made possible by Foundation contributors, we see how Fraternity members are learning new and sometimes startling facts about how good leaders achieve balanced lives. Every time we donate to the foundation more women from our chapter benefits in the form of scholar ships.

            Chair Karlie Graf: Decided to dye her hair red on day to match her outfit. A turn out red was not her color, so she dyed it blue. Her hair turned purple... who knew!

Our Community Service team for fall 2009:

             Community involvement is one of our six purposes and is close to each Chi Omega's heart. Our sisters are quite active in our local community. Over the past year we have helped the local animal shelter clean their facilities, participated in the college's community service and make a difference day projects, as well as collected money for the make a wish foundation with our annual Pie-A-Chi event.

            Co-Chair Jackie Hartle: Once got pied in the face so many times that she sneezed toppings for a week, good time no one else had a runny nose all the tissues were used as the box was opened.

            Co-Chair disaffiliated member:

Committee Members:

            Ashley Holcomb: Had such a big crush on Seth Rogen until he lost all his weight, now she cannot recognize him so she just assumed he was a one hit wonder and is no longer crazy about him.

            Amelia Bean-Deflumer: Frequently quotes Saturday Night sketches in her term papers, most of the time professors do not catch it.

            Megan Mirones: Accidently left her cell phone in a pair of jeans she donated to charity, looks like she donated more then just her old jeans.
           

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 concience 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 helpfullness
in which there is no discordant note.

This is a month of new beginnings for Chi Omega. We have new members who...

As we ring in the New Year, our thoughts turn to optimism and renewal. As...
