On behalf of Chi Omega Nu Beta, welcome to our chapter! My name is Kathryn Scoggins, and I am honored to be serving as president of our chapter at the University of Alabama. Through our website, I hope that you will be able to learn more about us and all that makes Chi Omega home to so many incredible women.  

 

When I came to the University of Alabama, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. As soon as I walked into Chi Omega, I was in awe of the women that were surrounding me, and I immediately knew that these were the women I wanted to emulate at the end of my four years at the Capstone. These women have loved me on my best days and even on the days that were a little more challenging. Most importantly, the women in Chi Omega have encouraged me to grow in ways I never thought imaginable. The relationships I have made with them will last a lifetime, and I can proudly say that they are some of my biggest role models. 

 

Each member of Chi Omega Nu Beta brings something different to our chapter. Our members are involved in many organizations such as the Anderson Society, Beat Auburn Beat Hunger Canned Food Drive, the Blackburn Institute, Capstone Men and Women, Chabad, Mortar Board, Reformed University Fellowship, Student Government Association, The XXXI, University of Alabama Dance Marathon, University Fellows, and Young Life to name a few. Chi Omegas are consistently encouraging each other to become the best versions of themselves. Due to our members’ dedication to our university and the Tuscaloosa community, several of our alumnae have received many premier awards, the highest honors at the University of Alabama. Regardless of where you choose to find your place on campus, you can go with confidence that a Chi Omega is there with you, too. 

 

What inspires me most about our chapter is not only the involvement our incredible members have on campus, but also their heart for service. Each of our members continually puts “character before appearances,” as our symphony reminds us, by working diligently to give back to the surrounding community. Whether it is raising over $84,294 in 2021 for the Make-A-Wish foundation, visiting the Tuscaloosa Boys and Girls club to serve as mentors to children in Tuscaloosa, or by supporting other philanthropies across campus, giving back is something we value at Chi Omega, and I could not be more proud to call these women my sisters. 

 

Sisterhood is a cornerstone of our home. My first time walking through the front doors of Chi Omega, I was in awe of how supportive, accepting, and loving everyone was. What was even more exciting was that the fun, spirited atmosphere was always present. Each day, there was always something different happening around Chi Omega and something to anticipate. Whether it is dance parties in the dining room, movie nights in the informal, cookie decorating, study sessions, or a social event with our sisters, the love we have for each other and for our chapter is genuine and I am blessed to be a part of this sisterhood. 

 

As Chi Omega begins our 100th year at The University of Alabama, we are excited for what this year has to offer. I am humbled to serve alongside our amazing Executive Board and Cardinal Cabinet, and I know that this year will be the best one yet. Welcome to Chi Omega Nu Beta, and I can’t wait for you to see for yourself what makes Chi Omega so special!

 

XOXO,

Kathryn Scoggins
