Start a Book Club Today!

This resource community was created for Chi Omegas to read and submit information about their book clubs, find tips on how to start a book club, facilitate a book discussion, or plan special book-club events. There is also access to book recommendations, best-seller lists, and all kinds of downloadable documents and new ideas.

As an added bonus, Chi Omega has joined the Amazon.com Associates Program. For your convenience, the Reading Rewards website features links to Amazon.com for ordering book-club books and other merchandise.
As an Amazon Associates Program member, Chi Omega will receive a referral fee on qualifying purchases made through these links. The Fraternity will be able to use these proceeds to further member support, education, and programming, but keep in mind the purchase must be made from the Chi Omega website link.

Chi Omega is pleased to encourage that love of learning through book clubs, not just because we identify reading with one of our six purposes, Sincere Learning and Creditable Scholarship, but also because book clubs are a way to relax, to de-stress, to connect with Sisters young and old, and to reconnect with Chi Omega.

So come on Chi Omegas! We invite you to read a book, reward yourself, and financially reward your Sisterhood. Be sure to check in frequently as new information is continually added.
