Benefits of
joining Chi Omega
Sorority membership provides an opportunity for members to reach their fullest potential and gain access to a supportive network of women that will help them grow far beyond their college days. Membership in fraternal organizations has been linked to higher well-being for college graduates.
In a 2021 Gallup-Purdue Index Study, it was found that college graduates who were in fraternities and sororities were more likely to be thriving in all five critical elements of well-being (purpose, social, financial, physical, and community). Subjects were found to have:
Felt more motivated to achieve goals
Had stronger emotional support systems
Been more effective at managing economic life and increased financial security
Been more likely to be engaged in the community
Higher rates of physical wellbeing
Fraternity and sorority members were also found to be more engaged in the workplace and invested in experiential learning opportunities.
Chi Omega is the largest sorority in the National Panhellenic Conference, with the most members and the most collegiate chapters. While we are proud of being the largest fraternal network for women, we are even more proud of the values our Sisters exhibit every day.
Rather than focusing on “fitting in,” Chi Omega provides a space for our members to belong… a place for Sisters to connect with like-hearted friends who live authentically and who are there for one another when it matters.
A Chi Omega’s collegiate years are just the beginning. Sisters will find lifelong support systems and meaningful connections through the largest alumnae network of any sorority. No matter your location, career, or interest, you will always find a Sister to connect with – even if it’s through Zoom.
In a new Gallop-Purdue Index Study conducted in 2021, the positive impact Greek Life had on members not only effected their collegiate years, but the post-graduate life also.
Great Experiences in College and Workplace: Affiliated alumni are substantially more likely than nonaffiliated alumni to have had all the Gallup defined “positive college experiences”, and result in better workplaces, and life outcomes after graduation.
Great Jobs: Affiliated alumni are more likely than nonaffiliated alumni to be engaged after graduation.
Great lives: Affiliated alumni are more likely than nonaffiliated alumni to be thriving multiple areas of their lives. They are better able to take care of their own basic needs, adapt to change, and contribute to the support and success of their organizations and communities.
Majorities of affiliated alumni are thriving in every aspect of their Affiliated well-being, and they are more likely than nonaffiliated alumni to be thriving in each area:
