Chi Omega was founded on April 5,
1985, at the University of Arkansas by four young undergraduates
with the assistance of a friend who was a Regent of the University.
From that simple beginning until the present time, Chi Omega has
grown and become the largest women's fraternity with over 170
chapters, approximately 300,000 initiated members and over 235
alumnae chapters nationwide. Chi Omega was the first sorority to be
founded on the Rose-Hulman campus. In the fall of 1995, eight women
found the need for a sorority on campus. By the spring of 1996, the
Gamma Lambda chapter of Chi Omegas was founded with twenty-seven
sisters. Six purposes guide the Chi Omega fraternity. They are
friendship, community service, high standards of personnel,
scholarship, participation in campus activities, and career
development. Chi Omega has a strong presence in Greek competitions,
campus organizations, athletics, and service to the campus and
community.
