RECRUITMENT

Fall Recruitment at the University of Tennessee AT Chattanooga will take place August 2026!

A NOTE FROM OUR RECRUITMENT CHAIR:

Dear Potential New Members,

My name is Allie Stinson, and I am honored to serve as the Recruitment Chair for the Delta Alpha chapter of Chi Omega. I am so excited that you’re beginning your journey at UTC! This season of life is full of growth and memories that will stay with you long after you graduate. As I look back on my own college experiences, one of the most meaningful decisions I made was participating in recruitment. Choosing Chi Omega has shaped my college years in ways I could never have imagined, and every day I am so grateful that I made that decision. Throughout recruitment, the women of Chi Omega are thrilled to have the opportunity to meet you and learn what makes you uniquely you. We can’t wait to share what makes Chi Omega so special to us. Chi Omega is a place where we’ve found genuine friendships, women who are steady, kind, thoughtful, and women who push us to be the best version of ourselves. Coming to college, I never anticipated the impact that being part of a sorority would have on my life. Chi Omega has given me incredible opportunities for leadership, service, and growth, but more importantly, it has given me a sisterhood of women who support me and encourage me at every high and low. Chi Omega is so much more than just letters; it’s a bond that is cherished forever and that is what we are so excited to soon share with you. As you go through recruitment, my hope is that you take time to learn about the wonderful Panhellenic community with an open heart and open mind. This experience is more than finding a home, it’s about discovering what matters most to you and what kind of community will help you to grow into the woman you hope to become. I hope that your time at UTC is filled with an abundance of love and moments you’ll carry with you long after graduation.

Chi O Love and Mine,

Allie Stinson

A NOTE FROM OUR NEW MEMBER EDUCATOR: 

Hello PNMs!

My name is Lily McDaniel, and I am so honored to serve as the New Member Educator for the Delta Alpha Chapter. From the very beginning, my hope is that you feel confident, supported, and excited as you step into this new season of life. Chi Omega is about so much more than learning traditions or history—it’s about finding people who will walk with you through college and far beyond it.

Starting college can feel like standing at the edge of something brand new—exciting, intimidating, and full of unknowns all at once. I remember wondering where I would belong, who I would lean on, and whether I would feel like myself in a completely new place. Chi Omega became the space where I learned that it was okay to grow, to change, and to ask for help. I was met with genuine care, steady encouragement, and friendships that continue to shape who I am today. This sisterhood pushes me to show up with purpose, compassion, and confidence every single day.

To PC ’26: You already matter here more than you know. We are counting down the days until we get to know your stories, your dreams, and the unique light each of you bring to Delta Alpha. You are stepping into a community that is ready to support you, celebrate you, and stand beside you through every high and low. I cannot wait to cheer you on, laugh with you, and help make this chapter one of the most meaningful parts of your college experience. The moment you arrive, know that you are home.

We cannot wait to welcome you to Delta Alpha.

Chi O love and mine,

Lily McDaniel
