Email: rebootbygod@gmail.com S tudents entering college today were born in 2001! While this generation has many outstanding qualities, they're also called the "Loneliest Generation," according to a Cigna nationwide survey. With so much reliance on their mobile phones, Gen Z has widespread mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, and depression. Stu- dents are arriving on campus with hundreds of virtual friends, but very few real-life friends they could call upon for support, encourage- ment and companionship. at's where Chi Omega comes in. Member- ship in our organization directly addresses these difficult issues. Sorority membership provides meaningful lifelong friend- ships; an instant group of friends that can be relied on and trusted; broadens horizons through a di- verse sisterhood of young women with different backgrounds, experiences, and temperaments; creates a sense of belonging; em- phasizes academics and philanthro- py; and members are statistically more likely to graduate in four years compared to non-Greek students. So, whether you maintain a strong connection to Chi Omega or it has been several years since your last interaction, we hope alumnae will note the value of our sorority is as import- ant as ever.
