The first steps to a reorganization of the University of Oregon chapter of the Chi Omega sorority began Sunday following a weekend visit by leaders from the organization’s national headquarters.

“What happened is that their nationals came in and chose a new exec and they are starting to rebuild in a way that the nationals wants to see,” Morgan Plew, president of UO Panhellenic Council, said.

Representatives from Chi Omega’s headquarters visited the chapter this weekend and made decisions they believed would be in the chapter’s best interest.

National organizations routinely check on individual chapters and evaluate them, making changes where they feel necessary.

“The university and Panhellenic Council have nothing to do with this because we can only do so much for one chapter,” Plew said. “The nationals come in and they take a bigger look at the picture.”

Junior Marita Maffit has been selected as Chi Omega’s new president.
