More Than A Sister!

Joining Chi Omega has already made such a huge impact on my life. I actually got a

glimpse into Chi Omega Theta Kappa before I ever went through recruitment because

of my older sister, Ellie Becker. Coming to Baylor and getting involved in Greek life, I

was honestly worried that I would only ever be seen as “Ellie Becker’s younger sister.”

But that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

From the very beginning, the women in Chi O pursued me for who I was—not just as

someone connected to my sister. That immediately stood out to me and made this

experience even more meaningful. Getting to share this chapter and be part of

something so much bigger than myself alongside my sister, even after her graduation,

has been incredibly special. But what I love most about Chi O is that you truly get to be

who you are. You’re not defined as someone’s daughter, sister, or friend—you are

uniquely yourself and celebrated for exactly who you were created to be.

It became clear to me very quickly that Chi Omega was where I belonged. The women

here are truly a dynamic group of people who celebrate with you, grieve with you,

pursue you intentionally, and show you what genuine friendship looks like. No matter

your MC, major, hometown, or background, you matter and you have a place in Chi O.

This community is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It is uplifting, refining, and

deeply meaningful, and I know not everyone gets the opportunity to be part of

something this special.

My new member period especially grew me in so many ways. It pushed me outside of

my comfort zone by encouraging me to initiate hangouts with other new members, get

to know all 101 girls in my MC as well as girls in other MCs, and put myself out there at

all of the fun events. It truly was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. Being part of an

organization that challenges you while also helping you grow is something I could have

only dreamed of. Along the way, I gained wonderful new friends, learned from all the

girls around me, and got to dress silly while doing it.

I know this is a season of life I’ll look back on with so much joy forever. I genuinely

cannot believe I get three more years of this. Chi Omega, yours forever – I’m the

luckiest!
