LEGACIES AND LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Being designated as a Chi Omega legacy does not guarantee membership in Chi Omega.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY: Being an active member Chi Omega is an option for everyone and anyone. The entire main floor, including our kitchen and common areas, is easily accessible through a ramp in the parking lot of our house, we also have an ADA accessible bathroom on the main floor. Unfortunately, we live in a very old and historic house and the upstairs floors of our house containing the rest of the bedrooms of members are not ADA accessible.  

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: The Golden Mu Scholarship is awarded annually to active members to recognize their contributions to the chapter as well as financial needs. In addition to this chapter-specific scholarship, there are national Chi Omega scholarships available year-round through the Chi Omega Foundation; scholarships are dedicated to a variety of categories, including study abroad, leadership, and specific career fields. We also offer alumnae scholarships after graduation, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are awarded each year.
