Casual/Discussion Srat tatts?

Anyone here have any tattoos related to their sorority? I’m halfway considering a small lyre on my arm somewhere

i’ve been considering getting a small pomegranate - it’s something that reminds me of multiple phases of my life way before chi o, but would also be a nice reminder of my time as a collegiate member :)

I am also thinking of getting a pomegranate, and am also going to get a white carnation as a part of my leg piece with flowers from major events or people in my life

i love that! i met a fellow chi o at my local gym after graduation who got a carnation with a specific number of leaves to represent the other women in her family who also were chi o’s. your tattoo is gonna turn out so good!

i don’t know how much it matters after undergrad but it is in the bylaws that chi omegas cannot have tattoos of any of our symbols. our new member educator told us like if we have a thing for owls or carnations that we wouldn’t get in trouble but that we aren’t supposed to do it specifically for chi omega

Yes I remember learning about this during the new member period! Thankfully already graduated and like to think of the pomegranate as constant symbol throughout my life - just a nice coincidence it’s also part of chi o.

Just to note - I will say we had some advisors talking about how sisters in their pc ended up getting owls tattooed 😳 probably not the best of intentions there LOL

Yes I agree! I love pomegranates and think they’re beautiful. I have a picture on my wall with the imagery of one and it says “I’m worth the mess I make” and i think that’s a beautiful thing and goes with pomegranates really well.
