Little Brother(s):
Why Chi Omega Rho?
I never thought that I would join a sorority. I hang out with mostly guys and my tolerance for useless drama is non-existent. So imagine my surprise when one of my guy friends dragged me into the atrium, me being persuaded by the food, I found a sorority that is different from all the others. They handled drama with straightforward communication, had a strong sisterhood, loved food, genuinely cared about me and practiced business skills. After becoming closer with the sisters I knew that I made the right choice.
Best Memory?
Cedar Point because that weekend I got a glimpse into the future to see the sisters that I would soon have. I learned a lot about each person that went to Cedar Point. I saw how our sorority handles problems and how dedicated every member is to Chi Omega Rho. And I also learned that I need to stay in school because I do not want to be a fry cook for the rest of my life.

Why Chi Omega Rho? Starting my first year of college, I came to campus with the typical stereotypes that a movies and T.V. shows have built for greek life in mind. But after coming out to recruitment, that judgement quickly changed. Not only was the sisters of Chi Omega Rho very inviting and warm hearted but seeing the connections some have made with other greek organizations really drew me towards joining greek life. After joining Chi Omega Rho, I not only have my sisters for life but I also have made friendships made through greek life.
Best Memory? Halloween of 2015, we had a mixer with Alpha Sigma Phi (our brother fraternity for fall of 2015) and that is when I was given my big brother, Kris Koko. I had a great time getting ready for the mixer with my pledge sisters and also getting to know all of the brothers of Alpha Sigma Phi.

Little Brother(s): TJ Strickland (Sigma Pi), Zakir Mahmood (Sigma Phi Epsilon), Kristo Cule (Sigma Phi Epsilon)
Why Chi Omega Rho?
The summer before I came to LTU I didn’t even know that the campus had a Greek System. I received the Chi Omega Rho scholarship application just as many freshman had, and through that I met Audrey. I had always been on a team throughout high school and I was looking for that feeling I lost, and a sisterhood seemed the best way. I had talked to Audrey all summer, and then at Orientation I met Nicole Pitchford, our Sorority’s president at the time. She was my leader, and I wouldn't stop asking her questions about the sorority. I honestly don’t know how she didn’t kill me. What made me sure I wanted to be part of Chi Omega Rho though, was the fact that the girls were trying to impress me, not myself trying to impress them. They constantly told me to cross rush, but I never did, I felt like I had already found my home.
Best Memory?
I have three memories that stand out when I reflect back on my journey through this sorority, because after being here for four years, I can't pick only one.
The absolute best is receiving Isabel Toth as my daughter, and I can't say much because that is a memory that is too special to share. Here is this strong girl that is so inspiring to me and so strong, and yet I get to say she is mine, and continue to grow my friendship with her. The second is receiving Nicole Goldi as my mother, very similar to how I felt about receiving Izzy, I felt when I was given to Nicole. She embodied all that I wanted to grow to be within this organization, and I know I can always go to her for anything. The last favorite memory, is Nicole going Alumnae. There are so many emotions surrounding that day, and it was that day that forced me to hurt and grow and stand on my own, because here, I was saying goodbye to one of my closest sisters, and looking to the future of this sorority and how I could help girls the same way she helped me.

Why Chi Omega Rho?
I chose to join Chi Omega Rho because I wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere. The very first time I met the girls at Spring Rush 2016 I fell in love with all of them. They pretty much all accepted how loud and obnoxious I am along with how crazy my laugh is. The events that we did throughout the week of rush and following my pledging process were so much fun as well. My pledge process finally ended with an amazing performance at Song & Skit along with a fantastic run at Greek Day which is a weekend I will never forget.
Best Memory?
One of my favorite memories besides Song & Skit/ Greek Day was my pledging process. Even with it being stressful and extremely tedious I enjoyed every single moment of it. From learning the history of Chi Omega Rho to getting to know all of the girls. I enjoyed most, if not all of the assignments we had to do throughout this process and I believe it changed me for the better.
