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.



How does Chi O support Make-A-Wish at UVa? Through its Golf on Grounds Fundraiser! Golf on Grounds (or GOG) is our annual spring golf tournament. On a Saturday in early April, countless teams of students and parents pour over the Lawn and Garden areas - many of the teams in costume - to show their support for Make-A-Wish by completing the "golf" course. (We use golf clubs and...tennis balls.) Not only is the event entertaining and funny, but it also educates participants about the children who benefit from Make-A-Wish and raises a substantial amount of funding each year. Last spring alone we raised over $10,000 and for the first time helped to grant a wish!

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.

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.

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.


Formal Recruitment for Chi Omega will take place at the start of the 2011 spring semester. For more information on how to register, visit UVa's Inter-Sorority Council website. Recommendations and recruitment forms specifically for Chi Omega should be sent to our Chancellor Street address (see Contact Us). For help with any further questions, contact Meg Raymond (mer5r@virginia.edu), our 2010-2011 Recruitment Chair!

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to Chi Omega at the University of Virginia! Our sisterhood is a vibrant community of girls with diverse interests and backgrounds, united by common values: Genuine friendship. Academics. Community service. Campus activities. Leadership. And FUN! The friendships that begin within our sisterhood are in many ways only beginnings, because they will last far beyond UVa. We value each other, we value our experiences together, and we value the fact we all chose Chi Omega because here, we feel home.
