Yeah I'd like to add to what Hootie was saying--I don't want you to think that I was stating all that Chi Omega has to say about its meaning, that's just what adds up if you look at Chi O's emphasis on involvement/leadership and academic achievement:
"Chi Omega is committed to:
Personal integrity
Excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits
Inter-generational participation
Community service
Leadership opportunities
Social enrichment"
[from our website at

Plus my previous research on symbolism that stated the "combination of leadership and courage with profound philosophical thought."
My definition was NOT from any "official" source or Chi Omega knowledge of mine, nothing you can't PUBLICLY access.
Since the alternate interpretations were things about pirates and stuff, I figured the other made more sense.
