History for me, so here's Coyote's (from
www.gtcoyote.org) :
Chi Omega Tau started in the Fall of 2000. Interested in starting a new sorority, the four original members met with Greek Advisors to determine what options were available to them through Georgia Tech and the Panhellenic Council. They petitioned the Student Government Association for a charter as a student organization, but were turned down by the Graduate Student Senate because membership selection discriminated on the basis of sex. Undeterred, the friends pushed forward, determined to make Chi Omega Tau a reality.
In the Spring of 2001, the sisters began their weekly meetings at Fellini's, a local pizza parlor in Atlanta, and held information sessions in the freshman dormitories on campus. They petitioned the Student Foundation for recruitment funding, and petitioned the Georgia Tech Panhellenic council for sponsorship as a local sorority. On April 24th, 2001, Chi Omega Tau was accepted into the Georgia Tech Panhellenic Council as the 10th Tech Sorority, with Associate Memeber status. On April 26th, thirty-seven official members were inducted and the first officers were elected. Over the following summer, the true spirit of Chi Omega Tau began to take form. Constitution and By-Laws were revised, Fall recruitment was planned, and members began their Fundraising. The sisters of Chi Omega Tau continue to make the sorority grow and continue to achieve new heights with every passing semester.
