What It Means To Me To Be A Chi Omega

Our sisters have the amazing opportunity to support, motivate, and inspire one another in a loving and fun environment that is guaranteed to be one of the best times of their lives. While living and learning from one another, we have become one family with memories that will last forever. It has been said that, "A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life." Chi Omega is sisterhood and welcome you to join our family.

Friendship is what binds us to each other and to our Fraternity. The friendships we develop in Chi Omega give us a home across geography and generations and give us lasting support throughout our lives.

Community Service means that we want to make a difference on our campuses and in our communities. We know that giving back to others unselfishly makes the world a better place and makes us better people. Serving and giving helps to connect us.

Sincere Learning and Creditable Scholarship means that we care about our intellectual development. We embrace the spirit and excitement of learning throughout our lives and encourage others to better themselves.

Participation in Activities develops us into well-rounded people. We engage with others to develop outside interests and expose us to new and differing points of view. By contributing in the larger world, we demonstrate that Chi Omega makes a difference in the lives of women.

Sisterhood and High Standards means that we are women of integrity and good character. We have high expectations for ourselves and for our Sisters. We strive daily to be role models to others.

The Chi Omega Symphony is something I have learned to live by these past few months as sister in this wonderful sorority.


To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; to be in the best sense, democratic rather than “exclusive”, and lovable rather than “popular”; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.

Written by Ethel Switzer Howard, Xi Chapter, 1904

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
