Our Philanthropy...

It is the spirit of community service that has brought the sisters of Chi Omega into the Make-A-Wish family. Chi Omega chapters support the Make-A-Wish foundation, as their national philanthropy, through volunteering, fund raising, and special events across the United States. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich their lives with hope, strength and friendly smiles.

On Wednesday the 4th of October, our friends and fellows Greeks filled Hale 240 as Chi Omega hosted their first annual lipsync competition for their philanthropy, Make-A-Wish. The fraternity boys dressed up in crazy costumes and entertained the crowd with their crazy dance moves It was a great success, as we raised almost twice as much as last year, and were fortunate enough to be able to give the Make-A-Wish Foundation over $2,400. Thank you to everyone who participated! A special thanks goes to Katelyn Centerwall, our Philanthropy chair, who made this all possible!

The lipsync was a great success, and we can't wait until next year to try and raise more money. Chi-O is thankful for the opportunity to share the power of granting a wish.
