Potential New Member Bill of Rights

Dear Potential Members,

My name is Gracie Napier and I am the President of Chi Omega! It is my honor and joy to extend a warm welcome to you. I understand that while this journey is exciting, recruitment can also be nerve-wracking. I want to remind you to be yourself and come as you are! We genuinely want to get to know you for YOU. I encourage you to make the most of every interaction and conversation you have throughout this process. Approach recruitment with an open mind and an open heart. Ask questions, share your experiences, and embrace the opportunity to connect with our sisters.

When I first arrived at Centenary, many individuals encouraged me to go through recruitment. I was initially a bit hesitant, unsure if sorority life was the right fit for me. However, I am incredibly grateful that I approached it with an open heart and an open mind. When I walked into Chi Omega, I engaged in meaningful conversations where I felt seen and heard. I met women with whom I connected deeply, and I saw in them the qualities I admired most. Those feelings have persisted to this day. I have found a home full of sisters who cheer me on and push me to be my best self. Chi Omega is not just a house; it is my home. Our sisterhood values personal growth, individuality, service, scholarship, and friendship. At Chi O, we cherish a sisterhood of like hearts, where the power of diversity and individuality gives us strength.

My chapter’s sisterhood is truly unique. We strive to recognize and celebrate everyone’s individuality, as we believe that this individuality makes our sisterhood stronger. Supporting and cheering for our sisters comes naturally to us and we can’t imagine our lives without our forever friends. Not only do we have fun but we strive to reach academic, philanthropic, and service goals each semester. Our partnership with Make-A-Wish is a significant passion for our chapter. During Wish Week, which we host every year, we plan and organize multiple events to raise money to grant a wish for our Wish Kid. Additionally, we serve the Shreveport community through outreach programming and by educating our members about the many service opportunities in our area. Moreover, we support each other in our academic pursuits by organizing study hours, offering tutoring from sisters, and even passing down textbooks.

This description only scratches the surface of what we do as a chapter. I cannot wait to share more with you during recruitment! Remember that sorority recruitment is not just about finding a place to belong; it is also about finding a group of women who will support and challenge you to be the best version of yourself. We hope that you will find a sense of belonging, sisterhood, and purpose on Greek Row.
