Chi Omega was founded at Middle Tennessee State University on March 8, 1969. Our chapter is constantly evolving and growing into something better than we could have ever imaganed. We have been residing in House 4 on Greek Row since 2012! 

A very important part of being a sister of Chi Omega is living out our symphony which is as follows: 

"To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; To place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; To be, in the best sense, democratic rather than "exclusive" and loveable rather than "popular"; To work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; To be womanly always: To be discouraged never; In a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note."
