Oh, G-O-T-T-A G-O, GOTTA GO C-H-I-O...
Owls, owls, and yet more owls. Chi O's main symbol is the owl, and if you know a Chi Omega you know this is true. We love to sport our owls on just about all we own -- apparel, room decor, and everything in between. Rumor has it, some girls even have pet owls -- just kidding. Actually, we don't joke around about those adorable, nocturnal birds.
Another one of Chi Omega's symbols is the skull and cross bones, but we will never tell you what it means! Even still, we flaunt it with just as much enthusiasm. So if you see a girl with skull and cross bones jewelry, apparel with a skull, she is (most likely) not a pirate. Just a Chi O. I am pretty sure I have two skull scarves in my closet, a number of cute shirts with a skull made out of flowers, and a pair of skull earrings that a certain ex-boyfriend of mine called, "creepy," but he just did not understand.
We believe that the song, "XO," by Beyonce is not just about hugs and kisses; it is secretly written about Chi Omegas, duh! Our letters are X (Chi) and Ω (Omega). But, clearly the Omega symbol looks a lot like an O, so it is close enough, right? XΩ is just so cute to write.
Red and yellow are not just red and yellow. More importantly, we like to call them cardinal and straw. These are our sorority colors, and though they may slightly resemble ketchup and mustard when paired together, we love them all the same.
Every Monday evening we are formally dressed for chapter, not just on the first of the month. The majority of chapters on SMU's campus rock their leggings and t-shirts three out of the four Monday's of each month, but an easy way to spot a Chi Omega is to pick out those select girls wearing a dress or skirt every single week.
Lastly, and most obviously, you can spot a Chi O because she will be wearing something with her letters on it, no matter how subtle; it may be a keychain, sweatshirt, t-shirt, or even a sticker on her laptop. We love to represent Chi Omega everywhere we go.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like
By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles
These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality
We are all more than just one sign.
31 March

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person
An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
