Sorority life is fun and exciting, and Recruitment is only the first step. In Chi Omega, we have made lifelong friends-- friends with whom we share our funniest moments and our greatest aspirations. As a Chi Omega, you can be involved right from the start. You will have the opportunity to attend social exchanges, formals and other social events, participate in philanthropy events, and learn about different
ways to get involved on campus.
For us, it was a decision that has enriched our entire college experience. We can't wait for you to see it too!
Recruitment is such an exciting experience. Although it may seem overwhelming at times, remember--each girl in our chapter was once in your shoes. We cannot wait for you to feel the same excitement we did.

What is a Rho Beta Sigma??
Rho Beta Sigma's are women from each Sorority on campus who disaffiliate from their chapters for the entire summer and the first part of the school year. They counsel and guide Potential New Members through the recruitment process without favorable intensions for their own chapter. They will become true friends and mentors to you! At the conclusion of recruitment they rejoin their respective groups so the New Members (that will be you!) can see which Sorority they actually belong to.
Chi Omega's welcoming a New Member on Bid Day!
"My favorite thing about going through recruitment was thinking I knew where I belonged, then having my eyes opened and heart changed.
Thanks Chi O, I love you!"
~Morgan Albright, Fall 2009 "My favorite part of recruitment is when we get to see all of our new sisters run to us on bid day!"
