At Stanford, Chi Omegas are leaders on campus — former ASSU presidents, PAC-12 champions, and accomplished scholars have called Chi Omega home. Together, we rally for football tailgates, dance the night away at formals and Special Dinners, and unwind at movie nights in our house. Our weekends are filled with fun sisterhood events, from Dish hikes and açai bowl runs to spa nights and study parties in the house.
Together, we have fun, lift each other up, and make a difference. We share values — not just interests — and are committed to our six founding purposes: Friendship, Personal Integrity, Service to Others, Academic Excellence and Intellectual Pursuits, Community and Campus Involvement, and Personal and Career Development.
This year — more than ever — we've learned the importance of leaning on each other to get through tough times. If you're looking for an authentic and supportive group of friends who know you by name, care about you, and inspire you to do and be better, Chi Omega is your community. We can't wait to meet you!
