Chi Omega
![]() | It all began on April 5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas when four young women. This small band of women founded Chi Omega after realizing a need for an organization that would foster both friendship and respect for the potential and inherent value of women. Over the years, Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship. On June 2, 1905 a chapter was installed here at WVU. Sorority colors are Cardinal and Straw. The owl is the chapter's mascot along with the white carnation as the chapter flower. Chi Omega Executive Headquarters is in Memphis, TN. |
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of our alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has honored Chi Omega for the incredible volunteer efforts of our members. At Convention 2008 Theta was recognized for 5 years of partnership with the Make-A-Wish foundation. We have granted many wishes for children in the Morgantown, WV area and look forward to granting another wish this school year. | ![]() |
