What makes Chi Omega so special?
we’re glad you asked…
On April 5, 1895, four young women, with the help of a local dentist, founded Chi Omega at the University of Arkansas. Today, Chi Omega has grown into the largest women's fraternal organization in the world with over 330,000 initiates, 178 collegiate chapters, and more than 250 alumnae chapters.
In 1922, twelve enthusiastic University of Arizona women formed a local sorority called Chi Delta Phi. Under the guidance of Mrs. G.M. Butler, they set Chi Omega as their national sorority goal. Then, on December 11, 1922, Chi Delta Phi was installed as the Zeta Beta Chapter of Chi Omega -- the 62nd official Chi O chapter in the nation!

Going through recruitment, I was so nervous I wouldn’t get that feeling of home anywhere. But when I stepped into Chi Omega I got that feeling. All the girls are so genuine and kind making me feel so welcomed and loved from the second I walked in. It is such a safe place where I feel I can be always be myself. The girls I’ve meet in Chi O inspire me to be the best version of myself everyday. They are all talented, driven, beautiful, and kind. I am forever grateful Chi Omega brought them to me. Chi Omega also has given me so many different opportunities beyond Greek Life that have enhanced my college experience. My love for Zeta Beta and the people in it will last a lifetime!

I love Chi Omega because it has become so much more than just an organization- it has truly become a home. Through the friendships, leadership opportunities, and unforgettable memories, I have grown into a more confident and driven version of myself.

I am incredibly grateful for the women who inspire me every day and for a sisterhood that encourages me to lead, serve, and grow.

My experience in Chi Omega has been so much more than just being a part of an organization; it has truly become a place where I feel supported, inspired, and at home. As a Chi Omega Zeta Beta legacy, this chapter has always held a special meaning to me, but being able to create my own experience within it has made it even more special. The women in this chapter have encouraged me to grow into a more confident, driven, and authentic version of myself. Serving as PR Chair has been one of the most rewarding opportunities, allowing me to showcase the heart of our chapter while growing professionally and strengthening skills in communication, branding, creativity, leadership, and collaboration. I am so grateful for the friendships, memories, and opportunities Chi Omega has given me, and for a sisterhood that continues to inspire me every day.
