Chapter News 

So far, 2026 has been a year of rebuilding, with mostly new members on the executive slate. We have been hosting events, including coffee and drink meetups, music and arts events, and a visit to Villanova's active chapter meeting. We are planning a book club meeting and cookie exchange later in the year and hope to see some new and familiar faces! While membership numbers and participation have been lower this year, we are hearing undercurrents of excitement from some new folks who would like to get more involved, and we are going to make a membership push at the end of 2026 and start of 2027.

We are considering simplifying the membership year by switching to a calendar-year setup, meaning memberships would run from January to December, regardless of when a new member paid their annual dues. Currently, the year starts in the month of payment and ends a year later. While this system has worked in the past, we find that members forget when they joined, and it becomes complicated to keep track of memberships and to remind members to renew when start dates are spread throughout the year. We will be voting in December on whether to update this procedure in the bylaws. If you are a paid member and would like to vote on this matter, please email the chapter or attend the December cookie exchange.

The executive team has discussed creating clusters in Bucks County, the Main Line, and Center City Philadelphia, and perhaps in Delaware, to foster participation at a more local level, but we need to increase overall membership to successfully move forward with this idea. 

Panhellenic

Chi Omega hosted the 2025 Philadelphia Area Alumnae Panhellenic Scholarship Luncheon to raise money for the graduate student scholarship. It was a wonderful event, with many alumnae and actives attending.
