Chi Omega was founded on this day in 1895 at the University of Arkansas by Jean Vincenheller, Ina Mae Bowles, Jobelle Holcombe, Alice Simonds, and Dr. Charles Richardson. Over that past 109 years, Chi Omega has grown into the largest women’s fraternal organization in the world with over 170 collegiate chapters and over 240,000 initiated sisters.
Chi Omega Symphony
To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to put 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, Xi. 1909
Happy Birthday, Chi Omega! Lots of love to all my sisters – I miss you all so much!
