Our National History
Founded in 1895 at the University of Arkansas, Chi Omega is the largest women's fraternal organization in the world. Throughout Chi Omega's long and proud history, the Fraternity has brought its members unequaled opportunities for personal growth and development.
Our five founders were a small band of young women who, with the help of local dentist Dr. Charles Richardson, established the secrets, symbolism, and ritual that now bind together over 310,000 women from 174 collegiate chapters and more than 240 alumnae chapters.
Our Chapter Mission
The Austin Chi Omega Alumnae Association enhances the lives of our members through philanthropic efforts in our community, career and personal development opportunities, and social and cultural activities. We seek to further fraternal spirit and cooperation among all members, to aid all active chapters of Chi Omega in their educational pursuits, and uphold the ideals and purposes of the Chi Omega Fraternity.
Our Chapter History
The Austin Chi Omega Alumnae chapter was founded in 1974. Since then, we have offered an outlet for our members to continue their support and commitment to Chi Omega through educational, social and philanthropic opportunities while enjoying old friendships and developing new ones. Our membership comprises of about 100 Alumnae members from more than 40 Collegiate chapters throughout the United States. There are over 1,400 Chi Omega Alumnae in the Austin area and we invite each of you to connect!
