Theta Kappa

On behalf of the Theta Kappa chapter of Chi Omega, welcome!

My name is Olivia Claire Smith, and I have the great privilege of serving as this year’s President of Chi Omega at Baylor University.

Our hope is that as you explore this website, you'll get a glimpse of what makes our chapter truly special and one-of-a-kind.

When I came to college, I knew my primary goal was to find a strong group of women who would be an enduring community amidst many new experiences and changes. As I went through Recruitment in January 2023, Chi Omega immediately felt dynamic. All of my friendships and conversations were authentic, distinctive, and—most importantly—fun. I saw qualities in the older girls in the chapter that I wanted to embody as I moved through college, and I left each interaction with the confidence that Chi Omega was the community I wanted to be a part of for the rest of my time at Baylor. Our chapter is a place where you will feel fully welcomed as you are, with open arms.

Chi Omega seeks to foster individual growth in each woman in our chapter so that she can positively impact both Baylor University and the Waco community. Our members show incredible ambition in many areas, whether it be Student Government, the Baylor Spirit Squad, or leadership in on-campus organizations and local churches; it’s hard to find an organization that doesn’t have a Chi Omega involved. This level of involvement demonstrates the continuous tradition of excellence that Theta Kappa embodies within each of its members. While these activities may be extremely varied, they highlight the hearts of service our girls have toward the Baylor community, always striving to leave it better than they found it.

Whether you're an incoming freshman, an active member, an alumna, or just a big Baylor fan, my advice to you is to lean into the friends that feel like forever, say yes to new opportunities, and always strive to be an encouragement to those around you. I can confidently say this chapter has shaped me into who I am today and continues to help me become a leader. Somehow, each and every moment seems to outdo the last, and I owe it all to the incredible women I’m surrounded by. Philanthropy, sisterhood, and sincere friendship are the roots of the women within this organization, and it’s evident in their character and hearts as they navigate their college years in Chi Omega.

We strive to uphold the Symphony in all areas of our lives as students, leaders, and friends. Being a Chi Omega at Baylor is one of the greatest privileges and joys that is difficult to describe in just a few pages on a website. I hope the beautiful hearts of the women in this chapter are made evident, and that you can see the radiating love and joy our members have for one another and for Theta Kappa.
You only choose once, so choose wisely!

XOXO,
Olivia Claire Smith
