“ChiO&Co, Chi Omega’s new mentoring and networking platform, has been such an amazing resource. I’m a biology major on the pre-medical track; through the alumnae network, I have found great connections that have provided me with medical school insight, tips on my post-graduate plans, and shadowing experiences. Without ChiO&Co, I would’ve never come across these resources otherwise.”

“Attending The Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute Flagship Session allowed me to be more confident in the way that I lead. During this training, we took the Clifton Strengths Test, where we learned our unique top five strengths. I was able to learn from other Sisters how to positively lead with my strengths and how to reframe certain strengths that society can perceive as "negative". I became more confident in myself and my leadership skills.”
“My favorite take-away from Firesides Leadership Training was the session on how to improve my conflict resolution skills. I feel this is one of the most challenging parts of balancing being a leader and being a Sister. Attending Firesides Leadership Training instilled so much confidence in me because of all the educational content I was able to take home and share with my executive team, so we could all become better leaders together.”

Supporting the Foundation isn’t just about giving back, it’s about paying it forward. It’s about believing in the power of education, the importance of leadership, and the lifelong value of Sisterhood.”
