15 Signs You're A Chi Omega

As if your letter shirt, letter bag, "XO" pin and pendant didn't give it away.

In 1895, a group of women (and Dr. Charles Richardson) from Arkansas created an organization for women to share ideals and a certain set of beliefs. 120 years later, Chi Omega has become the largest fraternal organization in the world with over 330,000 initiates and 178 collegiate chapters. Through this growth and expansion, Chi Omega has left a mark on the hearts of all women who have the distinguished honor to bare its crest. Aside from living everyday in the light of its purposes, here are 15 ways to know, without a doubt, you are a Chi Omega:

1. Owls have taken over your entire life.

You even shout, "Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!" when good things happen. It's almost getting out of hand.


2. You have thought (more than once) about naming your cat Jobelle, because…Obviously.

She was one of the first to ever do it and her name is adorable. What else do you need?


3. Every trip you plan with your sisters includes a pit stop in Memphis.

Headquarters is sacred ground and you love it more than your actual house.


4. “Forming the Chi” is your go-to dance move.

We had this move down way before Beyoncé — but she is the queen so we will happily share.


5. When a celebrity throws “XO” in the air, you automatically feel like you are best friends.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis know what's up.


6. “Be womanly always” is your favorite argument.

A sister getting sassy? "Be womanly always." Halloween costume a little too risque? "Be womanly always." Your mom is angry that you spent your paycheck on a new pin-wear dress? "Be womanly always."


7. You get too excited when New Members finally get to say the oath.

It is a proud moment when you hear your rush crush say it during and after initiation. You go, little one!


8. You reserve the right to celebrate 365 days after raising $31,000 for Make-A-Wish.

Need a group of women to work all summer to raise money for a world-wide organization that makes a difference for so many children who need it? Give us a call.

9. Whether or not it is actually true, you definitely have the best group of New Members on campus.

They are ours and we couldn't be more proud. Only the best join the nest.


10. Anytime Angela Kinsey puts a Chi Omega-themed picture on Instagram, the word “sister” is whispered into your heart.

Yes, Sister Kinsey, we feel you. #ChiOTilWeDieO


11. Being featured on National’s social media basically means you’re famous.

Who needs People Magazine when you have Insta?


12. You love Fall more than any other season because it is acceptable to wear cardinal and straw every day of the week.

We look great in anything but you'll never meet another group with so much red and yellow in their closets. Never.


13. You have been raising the young girls in your family to become legacies.

You will be a Chi Omega and you will like it. Unless it's not your thing... Then we will talk.


14. Your heart almost bursts when you see senior sisters crying during “Shades.”

You hold each other at the end of recruitment because you know it will be the last time you sing it for a while.

15. You will never take your letters for granted because you have never been more proud to be apart of something so much bigger than yourself. “Chi Omega, yours forever.”

These women will change your life. And for that, Chi Omega, we thank you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
