Chi Omega - University of Wisconsin

"Though recruitment can feel overwhelming, every time I stepped into Chi O, I felt an immediate sense of comfort. And every time I walked out, I had a big fat smile on my face. Joining Chi O has truly been the best experience. As a sophomore, I've felt such a welcoming support system around me and have loved getting to know the amazing girls in PCs '23 and '24. I'm so lucky to be a part of such a special sisterhood and can't wait for more memories to come." –Olivia Zaorski '24 "Joining Chi Omega has been one of the best decisions of our lives. It has brought us not only into a community of supportive and empowering women but also to each other! Coming to Wisconsin from the east coast was super daunting at first, but from the very beginning, Chi O has made us feel welcomed and supported as we navigated this new chapter. Starting from bid day 2023, we have been inseparable and have a lifelong friendship, all thanks to Chi Omega. Our friendship embodies everything this sisterhood stands for—kindness, strength, and unwavering support. Chi Omega not only brought us together but also enriched our lives with friendships and experiences we know will last far beyond our college years. From Madison to Manhattan, we are so lucky to be by each other's side every step of the way" –Ela Ekincioglu '23, Ava Waller '23, and Emily Gagliano '23 "From Chicago to the East Coast, Chi Omega has brought us together as not only best friends, but as sisters. We are forever grateful to share a special place like Chi O, where we can be unapologetically ourselves, making endless memories and never not laughing together for the past three years and that will continue on for a lifetime." –Dylan Alexander '22, Lani Lapkin '22, Annie Bilow '22, Annika Bergqvist '22, and Sarah Shultz '22 "Chi O has quickly become my home away from home, and I'm so grateful to have found a place where I feel so welcomed and like I can be my authentic self. I look forward to all the fun times and memories ahead and can't wait to grow closer with all my sisters." –Chloe Gothelf '24 Save the Date The Milwaukee Alumnae Chapter of Chi Omega will have its annual scholarship event, benefiting sisters from UW- Madison, Carroll University, and Carthage College, on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at Zisters in Elm Grove.
