Sisters Connect in Kenya

When Lauren Balog and Elisa Morgan traveled with the ONE Campaign to Kenya last July, the pair had known each other about six months, but they didn’t realize they are Chi Omega Sisters when they set off to visit African clinics, shadow home HIV testers, observe a school’s early reading programs, and meet with women farmers.

While touring a sewing project for disenfranchised and forgotten women refugees in Nairobi, they met American student-intern Anna Taylor, who was starting her own sewing project and thrift store for women in the slums. The three fell into conversation and soon a chorus of “I’m a Chi Omega!” rang out as they discovered their mutual bond.

“I couldn’t believe it!” said Lauren. “It took meeting another Sister halfway around the world to discover that Chi Omega is truly for a lifetime—and universal!”

Lauren is an initiate of Epsilon Alpha/U of Oklahoma; Elisa is an alumna of Iota/U of Texas–Austin; and Anna Taylor is a collegiate member of Psi/U of Arkansas–Fayetteville.
