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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
