How To Spot A Chi Omega

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.

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.
