Welcome to Chi Omega!
|
Founded in 1895 at the University of Arkansas, Chi Omega is the largest women's fraternal organization in the world. We are proud to have over 174 collegiate chapters and over 300,000 initiates! One in four sorority women is a Chi Omega. Throughout Chi Omega's long and proud history, the Fraternity has brought its members unequaled opportunities for personal growth and development.
The Kappa Beta chapter at Rhodes college has so much to be proud of, from donating over 38,000 hours to The Make-A-Wish Foundation to being ranked No. 1 Sorority for the 2010-2011 school year. Sisters are involved in many groups and organizations on campus, including Rhodes College Diplomats, Rhodes College Ambassadors, Lipstick On Your Collar, Relay For Life, Student Government, Honor Council, and various athletic teams, from track to field hockey to volleyball. Our chapter takes the most pride in our philanthropy, The Make-A-Wish® Foundation. To raise money for this worthy cause, we host events like Chi Olympics and Chi O Casino that involve the whole campus through fun. Because of our continued success in fundraising, we have granted five wishes in the past five years, and plan to grant another at the end of February. We've loved meeting our new members, and are already looking forward to recruitment, to add more sisters to our wonderful Kappa Beta family!

Catherine Boone, President
Hello! My name is Catherine Boone and I'm a Business and Religious Studies double major from Tuscaloosa, AL. I'm honored to serve as Kappa Beta's President and can't wait to see all of the exciting things our chapter will accomplish this year.
Chi Omegas around the world are united by virtues and principles that were set out for us 117 years ago by our founders. Today, our chapter prides itself on upholding those initial values. From helping the Make-A-Wish Foundation with granting wishes each year to welcoming 50 new Baby Hooties to the chapter this fall, I couldn't be more proud to say that I am a Chi Omega! Please take a moment to look around our website and learn more about what makes our chapter so unique and our sorority so near to our hearts. Loyally, Catherine Boone, Class of 2014 “To be womanly always; to be discouraged never." |
