Greek Ann Arbor

Chi Omega

“The Eta Chapter of Chi Omega was founded at the University of Michigan on October 21, 1905. Since then, chapter members have flourished. Along with deep involvement within the Greek community, members are also dedicated students and leaders on campus” (michiganchiomega.com). At the center of Chi Omega’s house is a unique portico in the shape of a semi-circle. Fluted columns and pilasters give way to the well-crafted Corinthian capitals and support the pseudo-entablature with its tiny dentils that also continue across the house’s front face. Only the portico is of any Greek influence. While the front entry is more Renaissance in its style, in general, there are no other features that may have drawn upon Classical architecture besides the house’s thin cornice.
