According to Mary Margaret

Bivings of Peachtree City, "I became interested in forming a Chi

Omega/Panhellenic group on the southside when my girls were in high school.

They were going through rush at Baylor University in Waco, Texas and I

wanted the sororities to have recommendations on them when they arrived.

Being from out-of-state, I didn't want them to be at a disadvantage. I

began contacting friends whom I knew were in sororities and finally ended

up talking with several people from the Atlanta Panhellenic Group. It

was then that I realized how hard it was for our southside girls to get

recommendations because there was not an organized group in Peachtree

City.

"I was finally able to

obtain recs for all the sororities at Baylor. However, I wanted it to

be easier for others, so I actively pursued starting a Chi Omega alumni

group and have enjoyed the Panhellenic. I have enjoyed meeting new friends

through these groups and think this is a good example of how you can enjoy

the sorority during college and pick it up again later. It is a great

way to network and make professional as well as social contacts."

Continuing the tradition of

camaraderie and sisterhood, the Chi Omega alumni group plans to hold bi-monthly

meetings full of fun and welcomes its Chi Omega sisters in the area. On

the horizon, Chi Omega will roll out its plans to play a more important

role in and around the community. For more information on the Chi Omega

Southern Crescent Alumni Group and meetings, please contact Chantel Adams
