Observing sororities at different campuses can be quite tricky, knowing that even though the sorority has the same name, it's not totally factual that the members or the ideals of the girls as a whole are the same from campus to campus. For example, I can only imagine how different the Chi Omega's here are compared to the Chi Omega's at IU or Purdue. However, they may be similar. One would only really know if they went into the subculture and viewed it themselves. I imagine that although it's the same name, each group is different. Just like baseball teams practice different, yet the sport of baseball stays the same. Maybe that's a silly analogy but it makes sense to me. I feel like Chi Omega here at Ball State right now is the way it is because of the executive boards and the girls before us. With their help, they've paved the way for great Chi Omega members to flourish and grow. Since I've began my subculture assignment, the general assumptions I've made are the importance of sisterhood and scholarship. I believe however though that sisterhood and scholarship are important to all Chi Omega's around the country (not only because it's in our by laws) but because, grades come first and sisters help you in all sorts of situations.
