Chi Omega has since grown more than 17 chapters nationwide with eight chapters in Virginia and more than 300,000 initiates. Its members are proud to be a part of the nation’s largest women’s fraternity and the realization of their founders’ dreams. Since its beginning, Chi Omega has nurtured its members by providing them with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship. The Sigma Lambda chapter was founded at Virginia Tech in 1987. Chi Omegas pride themselves on having a wide range of involvement and a diverse group of sisters. Sisters are involved with class offices, the corps of cadets, campus ministries, university employment, sports teams, Panhellenic Council, and judicial board. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is the beloved philanthropy of Chi Omega. Its sisters host a capture-the-flag tournament in the spring, and a flag football tournament in the fall to raise money. For the first time, Chi Omega participated in the walk for wishes, raising the most money and helping to grant two wishes. They continue to set higher goals and strive for new things each year. Chi Omegas take pride in and live by a creed called the Chi Omega Symphony that has inspired not only the sisters, but the people around them: “To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligation and character before appearances; to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than ‘exclusive’ and loveable 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…”

She is a part of a diverse group of sisters who come together to create something unique and special. She enjoys an incredible sisterhood that is exemplified by a strong network of friendship, support, and understanding. A Tri delta never finds herself without a friend to laugh with and cry with, and most importantly, share the ups and downs of life with. delta delta delta was founded on Thanksgiving eve in 1888 at Boston University. Its mascot, the dolphin, is symbolic of clear skies and smooth sailing. The symbols of delta delta delta are the pearl, the pine, and the pansy. Each symbol carries special meaning to different stages of Tri delta membership. The pearl was chosen to represent the new member because it is the only jewel that grows, developing from a tiny nucleus into a thing of great beauty. The pine is a symbol of strong character and guides active collegiate members, along with their devotion to Tri delta and their faithfulness to her precepts, to develop into womanhood. The pansy represents alumnae, and suggests tenderness and friendship, while the varied colors represent the differing personalities within each chapter and throughout all Tri deltas nationwide. The purpose of delta delta delta is to establish a perpetual bond of friendship among members, develop a strong and womanly character, broaden the moral and intellectual life, and assist its members in every possible way. Tri delta promotes unselfish leadership among its members. Its ideals encourage members to assume the highest responsibility of college women while preserving integrity and devotion to moral and democratic principles.
