Woman of the Year

Taylor Hodges Thompson
2025

Each year, the Chi Omega Alumnae Association of Houston honors an outstanding member for her noteworthy service to Chi Omega Fraternity, our alumnae association, and/or the greater Houston community.

Initiated in 1999 at Wingate University in North Carolina, Taylor is an outstanding alumnae – a dynamic, talented and dedicated member serving in many positions on the board. She has been a strong and thoughtful leader chairing several committees: Newsletter, Communications/Website and Philanthropy and leading as President in 2016-2017. She then continued on the Communications team and most recently as the Houston Panhellenic Delegate for the past two years. 

She is loved and respected by all. We congratulate Taylor for this much-deserved honor!
