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.

Mission: The Make-A-Wish foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

Vision: The Make-A-Wish foundation's vision is that people everywhere will share the power of a wish.

Where it all began: It all started on April 29th, 1980, when a 7-year-old-boy named Chris Greicius realized his lifelong wish to become a police officer. Many of those responsible for fulfilling Chris' wish wanted to do the same for other children with life-threatening medical conditions.This led to the formation of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Chi Omega's Involvement: Continuing its longstanding commitment to philanthropy, Chi Omega chapters, collegians and alumnae support the mission of the Make-A-Wish through volunteering, fund-raising, and special events across the country. Since the program's inception in 2002, Chi Omega chapters have volunteered over 380,000 hours. To date, Chi Omega has raised more than $5.6 million for the Make-A-Wish Foundation recognizes Chi Omega as one of their Cause Champion sponsors.

At Marietta: Every year we do an event called Pie-A-Chi. This event helps us raise money for Make-A-Wish, but at the same time, it allows us to bond each other as well as our community!

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.

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.

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.
