Chi Omega

Founded in 1895 at the University of Arkansas, Chi Omega is the largest women’s fraternal organization in the world with more than 300,000 initiates and 171 collegiate chapters. The Mu Beta chapter was chartered at the University of Georgia in 1922. Throughout Chi Omega’s history six great purposes have been stressed, including friendship, high standards or personnel, sincere learning and credible scholarship, participation in campus activities, career development and community service.

Members are encouraged to develop appreciation for the things in life that contribute to a finer culture, habits of responsibility, attitudes of understanding, standards of conduct that make it possible to attain the purposes, and interest in learning. Chi Omega’s open declaration is “Hellenic Culture and Christian Ideals.” Today members recognize their great heritage from which they draw their present strength and prestige.
