CHI OMEGA 

T heta Kappa

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

My name is Emily Luft, and I have the great honor and privilege of serving as President of the Theta Kappa Chapter of Chi Omega at Baylor University. As you explore our website, I hope that you will experience a glimpse into our chapter and the sisterhood that makes Theta Kappa incredibly special and truly one-of-a-kind. 

Chi Omega has been the greatest blessing of my time at Baylor University. From the second I stepped foot on campus, I found true friendship in each and every Chi Omega that I met. As I began my freshman year, my greatest desire was to find a strong community of loyal women who pursued genuine friendship with one another, and embodied admiral characteristics that I hoped to grow to embody throughout the next four years. When I went through formal Recruitment in January 2024, the women of Chi Omega immediately surrounded me with loyal friendships that I had hoped to find at Baylor. The friendships that I found within Chi Omega were incredibly authentic, remarkable, and full of joy. I admired the dependability, trustworthiness, and servant-heart that Chi Omegas embodied. After each and every interaction, I would leave feeling confident that Chi Omega was the sisterhood that I desired to be a part of throughout my time at Baylor University, and for a lifetime.

 Chi Omega truly began to feel like home. 

The Theta Kappa chapter of Chi Omega is a sisterhood  focused on pursuing a life full of purpose. Our chapter seeks to foster individual growth in each woman in our chapter so that she can positively impact both Baylor University, and the Waco community. Chi Omega is devoted to personal integrity and service to others through philanthropic work benefiting Make-A-Wish North Texas. We do this through several philanthropy events, with our largest campus-wide event, “Chili Cook Off and Bed Races”. Along with this, one of our greatest joys is being actively involved in campus activities through intramurals, the annual Homecoming float competition, and Baylor All-University Sing. We are incredibly proud of our First-Place All-University Sing acts, “Back On Track” and “Day at the Derby,” and our Second-Place Act, “Caught Red Handed”. While being actively involved in philanthropic efforts and campus activities, Chi Omega emphasizes the importance of academic excellence and intellectual pursuits, as well as encouraging personal and career development for all of our sisters. Our sisters show incredible ambition in many areas. Whether it be Student Government, Baylor Athletics, 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 sisters.

No matter who you are or where you are headed, whether you are an incoming Baylor student or fellow Chi Omega sister, I encourage you to seek loyal friendships that will last a lifetime and always strive to work earnestly, speak kindly, act sincerely, and choose thoughtfully. I can confidently say that the Theta Kappa chapter of Chi Omega has shaped me into the person that I am today. I am a better friend, sister, and leader because of the way that this sisterhood has poured into me, and continues to  do so each and every day. Our chapter is built on a foundation of loyal sisterhood, dedication to philanthropic efforts, and sincere friendship. This is evident through the character and hearts of our sisters as we strive to live out the symphony in every area of our lives as students, leaders, sisters, and friends.

Being a Chi Omega at Baylor has been my greatest joy and a true privilege that has impacted my life for the better, and will continue to do so beyond my time at Baylor University.  I have been surrounded by loyal friendship, which I had never genuinely experienced until I walked into this chapter. I am forever grateful for the Theta Kappa chapter of Chi Omega and our sisterhood. As you explore our website, I hope that the beautiful heart and character of our chapter is evident, and that you can see the true joy and love that our sisters have for one another and for Theta Kappa.

You only choose once, so make sure you choose wisely!

XOXO,
Emily Luft

The Chi Omega Symphony 

“To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; to be in the best sense, democratic rather than “exclusive”, and lovable rather than “popular”; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.”
