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

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
