Chi Omega - University of Arkansas

It all began on April 5, 1895, here at the University of Arkansas. Four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 300,000 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 personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, inter-generational participation, community service, leadership opportunities and social enrichment.

Here at the Psi Chapter of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, we have the privilege of being surrounded with our Fraternity's rich history. Our chapter house is listed on the National Historic Registry. Psi chapter donated the Chi Omega Greek Theatre and the Chi Omega Foundation to the University. The Greek Theatre is the largest and most expensive donation by a Greek Organization to a university to date and is the only strucutre of its kind in the United States. Each university pep rally is held at the Greek Theatre! It is very special to be a part of this chapter which has now initiated over 3,000 wonderful women and is a part of the largest women's organization in the world!
