NU EPSILON OMEGA SORORITY
Locally Founded: 1978
Colors: Blue and White
Flower: Purple Flower
Mascot: Shooting Star
Nu Epsilon Omega was founded in 1978 by 12 young women who wished to foster "new concepts and ideas" about sorority and college life.
What is a sorority and what does it do? It is “chiefly (a) social club or society for University women.” (p. 471, Collins Compact Dictionary). A sorority is designed to provide an opportunity to create life long bonds and relationships. However, that is not all that Nu Epsilon Omega is all about. Nu Epsilon Omega was established as a service organization dedicated to reaching out and improving the quality of life within the Sacred Heart community and also the greater community. The sorority works very hard to promote their two causes of Domestic Violence Prevention and Suicide Awareness, and has been recognized for their efforts with Campus Life, Greek Life, and State-Wide awards. In 1999, after a brief hiatus, this organization was re-activated by 21 women, who brought their own “concepts and ideas” to Nu Epsilon Omega while maintaining its many years of tradition.
The sisters of Nu Epsilon Omega remain socially active in many different clubs and organizations, and host numerous events on campus. Nu Epsilon Omega consists of an extremely diverse group consisting of commuters and residents from different states, as well as a foreign country. They share a deep respect for each other, for their philanthropies, and exemplify their motto - "What does not kill me only makes me stronger!"
