Chi Omega sign almost home

Home News Chi Omega sign almost home

The sign in front of the Chi Omega sorority house has been missing since last semester. Within the next week, Chi Omega will be getting a new sign placed at the front of the path leading to the house. The Chi Omegas have finally placed an order to replace the vandalized sign. It will be similar in style to the old sign, reading “Chi Omega” and “established in 1924” with the sorority’s crest on it. It will most likely be of the same durable redwood oak as the last sign.

Junior and Chi Omega president, Ashley Heath, said the sorority will be giving the sign a “fresh face.”

Last semester the Chi Omega sign was torn down and stolen.

Heath said “[It] was one of those iconic parts of the outside of the house” and “a first impression” of the sorority.

The sign was not in place for rush at the beginning of the semester, and Heath said this “affects [what] parents, administrators, and potential students think about the school.”

According to Heath, the amount that Chi Omega’s insurance company will pay to replace the sign depends on the outcome of this investigation, but as of right now the case is still open.

“We don’t have the rowdiest Greek system, so we don’t typically have to deal with this,” Heath said. “[We hope to] heal some old wounds and make a healthier Greek system.”

Heath added that the Chi Omega sisters “hold no contempt for anyone on campus” and “hope [others on campus] will return the sentiment.”
