MEET CHI OMEGA

Chi Omega was founded in 1895 at the University of Arkansas and is now the largest women’s fraternal organization, with 178 chapters and over 330,000 initiates nationwide. Across these chapters, sisters strive for personal growth and development, embodying the qualities of well-balanced women who are deeply involved in their campuses and communities. The Rho Lambda chapter at the University of Delaware currently has over 200 active sisters who support, love, and care for one another unconditionally. We wholeheartedly support our national philanthropy, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes for children with terminal illnesses. Additionally, we have recently adopted a local philanthropy, Exceptional Care for Children (ECC), located in Newark. ECC is a long-term care nursing facility for children who are unable to live at home due to being technologically dependent or requiring round-the-clock care.

Every year, we successfully grant a wish for a child through our philanthropy events, “Chi Hop” and “Home Run for Hope.” We also regularly volunteer at ECC, making fun crafts for the children residing there. The sisters of Chi Omega love getting to know other chapters in the Greek community by participating in philanthropy and Panhellenic events.

We are excited to give you a glimpse into our chapter and share the amazing memories, moments, and relationships we’ve built through Chi Omega. We look forward to meeting you!

HEAR FROM THEIR CHAPTER DELEGATE

Chi Omega has completely transformed my college experience. When I first came to the University of Delaware, I was looking for a place where I could grow, learn, build meaningful friendships, and get more involved on campus. After going through recruitment and joining Chi Omega, I found all of that and more. Panhellenic and Chi Omega have pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone, take on leadership opportunities, and become more confident in myself. It also allowed me to meet amazing and inspiring women that I now call my best friends. It has introduced me to lifelong friendships and a support system that has encouraged me through both my successes and challenges.

Serving as a Panhellenic Delegate has allowed me to give back to a community that has given so much to me. Becoming the Panhellenic delegate has allowed me to work with all different chapters, learn about what makes each chapter so special, and meet so many amazing woman. It has allowed me to give back to a community that has given so much to me, and I could not be more grateful for Chi Omega and Panhellenic!
