Why Chi Omega Rho?                                                          I chose Chi Omega Rho because they seemed like a group of girls who really had their morals straight. It was a group of people that I felt I could really fit in with and be accepted for who I am. I have made such amazing friends from it and wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything!

Best Memory:                                                                      There have been so many over this past year from the night before retreat when I was pledging to Kidnapping Jenna to paint the rock to the giggle criticism!

Why Chi Omega Rho?

This first thing that stuck out to me about Chi Omega Rho was that they didn’t judge me.  They respected the fact that I did not drink, that I’m reserved, and that my faith is important to me.  They never tried to pressure me into doing something I did not want to do.  After hanging out with the girls during rush and getting to know them I decided to pledge.

Best Memory:

I’d have to say my best memory is the pledging process.  I grew a lot as a person during pledging.  I’m a very reserved person and I’m not big on stepping outside of my comfort zone.  Pledging really pushed my limits and it forced me to put myself out there.  I had the perfect pledge sister for doing just that.  Stefani and I are complete opposites, she’s very out spoken and I’m not.  Stefani was really good at pushing my limits.  Joining Chi Omega Rho has made me a better person and it continues to challenge me every day.
