The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of their alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. In the fall of 2019, Pi Zeta alone raised over $10,000 through the annual fall philanthropy golf outing called "Wish Upon a Par". From the money raised, they were able to fully grant their wish kid, Izabella, a trip to meet Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory. In the spring Chi Omega host a "wish week" event where other WMU greek life chapters go head to head to raise money for the MAW Foundation. Chi Omega is humbled by the impact that Make-A-Wish has on so many families and feel blessed to serve and be a part of this wonderful organization!
ABOUT CHI OMEGA:
Chi Omega is the largest women's fraternal organization in the world with 300,000 initiates and over 173 collegiate chapters. The Pi Zeta Chapter of Chi Omega was established at Western Michigan University on December 10, 1960. Over the years, Chi Omega has flourished into a sisterhood of 80+ members. The sisterhood here at Western Michigan is a place for friendships and memories, an opportunity for leadership and service, and most importantly, a family. 1414 Fraternity Village Drive is a second home to every Chi O at Western. The sisters of the Pi Zeta chapter constantly strive to live by our six purposes.
Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship—striving to provide each Sister with a commitment to personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership opportunities, and social enrichment. By becoming part of Chi Omega they have met their best friends and have built relationships that will last a lifetime.
