A Message from our president:

Hello! 

Hi there!

My name is Olivia and I am absolutely honored to introduce you to the Delta Alpha chapter of Chi Omega here at UTC! Membership in Chi Omega is an experience that simply begins in college and truly continues throughout your entire life. Chi Omega pushes us every day to be women of substance who expect more of the world and seek it out constantly. We have vision and purpose; we’re “Sisters on Purpose”. 

In Chi Omega, we are founded on principles of scholarship, leadership, and pillars of service and gratitude. We strive to live by the guiding principles and inspiration in the words of our symphony written back in 1904. The Delta Alpha chapter is also incredibly passionate about our six core values: academic excellence, career and personal development, community service, campus involvement, friendship, and high standards of personal integrity. 

Our chapter has been an integral part of the UTC community for 105 years. We pride ourselves in the generous support of our local East Tennessee chapter of the Make-A-Wish foundation, continued academic excellence, expansive involvement on our campus, and many other unique chapter talents and interests. Most importantly, our chapter has become a true safe haven for so many girls coming from various backgrounds and life experiences. This sisterhood has provided an outpour of love and support for not only me but countless others. Coming to college and leaving home can be one the most intimidating times in our lives. As we each gain experiences and knowledge of who we are, we soon begin to learn who we want to grow to be. Chi Omega has not only encouraged me but has also pushed me past any potential I saw in myself previously. I am thankful every day for the ladies of Delta Alpha, I truly would not be the woman I am today without this organization. Chi Omega has implanted values of “high purpose and helpfulness”, compassion, and a love for others that I will carry with me throughout my life. I could not be more grateful for an organization that continually pours into me and pushes me to pour into others, and I know so many others could say the same. 

Chi Omega is about flourishing, thriving, succeeding, and above all, making a heartfelt difference where it matters most. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any and all questions you may have, especially if you are just beginning your college journey! My experience in Chi Omega has been one that I could truly never say enough positive things about. I wish you all the very best, and of course, Go Mocs!! 

​Chi O Love and Mine, 

​Olivia Smith
