Haha.
Really though. I can't tell you. As I said previously, I am a Chi Omega at my University, and "lico" is one of our rituals, therefore it's a secret.
I will however take the time to tell you about Chi Omega now!
There are a TON of stereotypes about sorority girls, trust me, I know them all. "We pay for our friends" "All we do is throw parties" "My sorority friend and her sisters and nothing but big skanks." Uh huh, heard them all.
I am none of the above.
I do however, do 10+ hours of community service every semester, I am required to be involved in two or more organizations on campus, I raise money through activities like Moonball (glow in the dark volleyball) and Chi O's and Tacos (we sell tacos in a bag) for the Make-A-Wish foundation. I am a well-rounded woman because of my sorority. These girls are my best friends, my sisters, my family, my home away from home, my rock. If it hadn't been for Chi Omega I probably would not have gone back to school my sophomore year because of everything that had happened that previous summer. They have been there for me when no one else was. I would be lost without these girls.

I will forever be grateful for the lessons that Chi Omega has taught me so far, and I cannot wait to see what the next two years hold.
To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular'; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note. -Ethel Switzer Howard, Xi Chapter, Northwestern University, 1904
