Our Values
Women in this sisterhood pride themselves on upholding the values and high standards of a Chi Omega woman in all aspects of their lives. We strive to constantly live by our symphony, and always encourage our sisters to be the best version of themselves.
Our Symphony
“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.”
-Ethel Switzer Howard
