Chi Omega was founded in 1875 at the University of Arkansas. Chi Omega has six values which are friendship, high standards of personnel, scholarship, campus involvement, career and personal development, and community service. Chi Omega fosters a lifelong sisterhood built on purpose and passion. Our motto, "Sisters on Purpose," reflects our commitment to supporting one another while making a meaningful impact on our communities. Chi Omega is the largest sorority nationally with over 418,000 initiated sisters!

Our national philanthropy is the Make-A-Wish foundation. Our chapter works closely with the Southern Florida Make-A-Wish office. Make-A-Wish helps grant wishes for children with critical illnesses, aligning with Chi Omega’s commitment to philanthropy and service. Chi Omega hosts philanthropy events each year to raise money to grant children's wishes, along with volunteering at Make-A-Wish events in the Tampa Bay area such as Walk for Wishes and Dishes for Wishing, among other volunteer opportunities. Our favorite event is our annual wish party. These wish parties celebrate and announce a local child's wish and are always touching not only to our chapter but the families as well.

Chi Omega defines a legacy as a sister or a daughter of a Chi Omega in good standing. Granddaughters, cousins, and nieces of Chi Omegas have close ties but are not Chi Omega legacies. Being designated as a Chi Omega legacy does not guarantee membership in Chi Omega. Chi Omega collegiate chapters set their own legacy policies according to the number of invites allowed by their campus Panhellenic.
