Chi O Houses Across the Country

[NutBrnHair]

Chi Omega (formerly Theta Alpha Pi) was the first sorority installed on campus in February, 1928. The Chi O house would have been near the present Clock Tower. Sorority Houses were were built on the back campus in the 1930s. The six houses were originally in a row located between the present Clock Tower and Everett Library. They were demolished in 1959 to construct the library and new dormitories. The Chi Omega Gazebo was originally built on the exact spot where the original house stood to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the installation of the Queens chapter. The national president of Chi Omega, at that time, was Elizabeth Carmichael Orman, alumnae from 1928, and a charter member of Chi Omega. The gazebo was moved to the front of the campus near Belk Chapel with the Clock Tower was constructed in 1997.
