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.

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.
