Founded in 1895 at the University of Arkansas, Chi Omega is the largest women's fraternal organization in the world with over 380,000 members, 181 collegiate chapters, and 247 alumnae chapters. The Mu Beta Chapter of Chi Omega was founded on April 21, 1922 as the second sorority at the University of Georgia.
Throughout Chi Omega's history, six great purposes have been stressed, including friends
hip, high standards of personnel, sincere learning and credible scholarship, community service, participation in campus activities and career development. This allows all of the sophomores and executive board to live in the house. The front of the house has a large chapter room, an old-fashioned parlor room, a kitchen, and a dining room where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily during the week. The courtyard, which is adjacent to the living quarters and the chapter room, is a great place to study on a cool fall day, to catch a few rays in the spring time, or simply to socialize. The house also touts a study room on the third floor with couches, tables, computers, printers, copiers, and study files all available as resources to the Chi Omegas. Fast Facts:
