National History

 

On April 5, 1895 at the University of Arkansas, four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 260,000 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 - striving to provide each Sister with a commitment to our 6 purposes:
