This year, Pi Chapter is celebrating its 108th Birthday with great anticipation of years to come. Chi Omega is fortunate enough to have 14 buildings at the University of Tennessee named in honor of Chi Omegas, We are also honored to be the only sorority with a place on UT’s Vol Walk, being the first Greek women’s fraternity on campus. Throughout Chi Omega’s long and proud history, six purposes have guided the direction of every chapter and brought its members unequalled opportunities for personal growth and development. These founding purposes are friendship, high standards of personnel, sincere learning and creditable scholarship, participation in campus activities, career development and community service. The Pi Chapter of Chi Omega is the oldest sorority at the University of Tennessee. For over a hundred years, the Chi Omegas have shared the bonds of friendship and sisterhood while excelling in academics, leadership and service. Chi Omega membership is a strong, lasting tradition that its sisters hold very near to their heart.
