Maryland Chi Omega

[CZAXOTerp]

Maryland alum- new to the board- just did a search for my campus and found this thread. Wanted to add to what Aabby757 posted. Chi Omega explored colonizing either my sophmore or junior year spring 95 to fall 96. They never had their letters on a house (perhaps briefly a banner on the shell of a house during renovation?- hazy.) Gamma Phi got their house on the row back for a year or 2 before closing in 2000 (they didn't close when their house was closed for renovation, but since they hadn't bought into the university renovation plan and I guess ChiO was willing to pay GPhiB would have lost their house to ChiO.) I remember that there was some concern about Chi Omega taking a chapter house away from a chapter that was already established on campus. I was a Rho Chi end of my junior and into my senior year and Chi Omega was not participating in rush in anyway. I believe they had a meeting or 2 on campus, but your HQ decided not to move forward with the effort. I remember reading about it in the Diamondback and I was very involved w/ rush w/i my chapter.
