Friendships for Life

Chi Omega began with the friendship of four women with shared experiences and common goals. So it was fitting that Chi Omega would include friendship as one of the Fraternity’s purposes. One hundred fifteen years later, members continue their commitment to high standards, intellectual pursuits, philanthropy and service, campus and community activities, and career and personal development. And at the heart of it all is friendship—friendships that begin between new members and grow stronger and more important through the years; inter-generational friendships that begin with our chapter advisors and house corporation board members, and continue into our alumnae chapters; friendships that inspire, support, and encourage members throughout life’s journey.

How fortunate we are that in Chi Omega, our friends are Sisters, too.
