Comment:  I had high expectations coming into Chi Omega, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. While the organization may offer some opportunities for socializing, it became clear to me that the values and practices within the sorority did not align with what I was looking for. One of the biggest issues I encountered was a lack of genuine sisterhood. It often felt more like a popularity contest than a supportive community. When someone was going throw a difficult time, it felt like the rest of the girls thrived off them being down. There seemed to be a lot of cliques, and new members were frequently left on the outside. Another downside was the emphasis on exclusivity rather than inclusivity. It was frustrating to see people being judged based on superficial qualities, and I felt like the focus was more on appearances than fostering meaningful, long-lasting relationships. Additionally, there was little support from leadership. Communication from the officers was often unclear, and when concerns were raised, they didn’t seem to be taken seriously. Overall, I left feeling more isolated than ever and regretted my decision to join.
