Chi Omega Symbol, The Owl Chi Omega Flower, the Carnation

The Chi Omega Symphony is our most important tradition. It is what all Chi Omegas live by.

The Chi Omega Symphony was written in 1904 by Ethel Switzer Howard, a pledge of Xi Chapter at Northwestern University. She wrote the poem in preparation for her initiation and felt that the
words exemplified goals to which Chi Omega aspired. The friendships of Chi Omega are compared to a symphony. While one musical instrument playing alone is pleasant, when all instruments are blended together, they make beautiful harmony. So it is with Chi Omega. Chi Omega gains strength and depth from the blending together of diverse individuals. Ethel Switzer Howard's Symphony has since become every Chi Omega's creed.
