We are the Eta Delta chapter of Chi Omega at the University of Florida. Founded in 1948, the Eta Delta chapter strives "to be womanly always, discouraged never." We are a group of over 250 women that uphold the traditions and values of Chi Omega and annually fundraise thousands of dollars toward the Make-A-Wish foundation. "To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular'; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note." --The Chi Omega Symphony, written by Ethel Switzer Howard, Xi Chapter, Northwestern University, 1904 Edit
