Before They Go... Thoughts from Our Graduating Seniors Skye Benyon '20 "I've made so many incredible memories in my four years with Chi O. After mattress sliding down the second old stairs, watching Gossip Girl every night on the couch, and living with some of my best friends for two years, I feel so incredibly lucky I had the privilege to join this sisterhood and experience everything it has to offer. After I graduate, I will be traveling for four months in Europe, two months in Southeast Asia, and four months in Australia before coming back to apply to med school." Roma Bedekar '21 "My time in Chi Omega transformed my college career. I met lifelong friends and mentors and was integrated into a supportive family the day I stepped on campus. Living in the house for two years and being involved in Panhellenic exec brought me some of my favorite memories. Post-grad, I'll be moving to Washington, D.C., to work as an associate at the due diligence consulting firm GRAPH Strategy." Sophia Tung '20 "After graduation, I'll be working in portfolio management in New York at Hall Capital Partners, which is one of the largest women-run/owned companies in the industry!" "Even though you're leaving Chi O far behind you, there'll be many memories, there'll be many letters 'til we meet again. We'll have our reunion, there'll be toasts and singing!" – In the Shades of Evening
