                          SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS
                                       OF
                        EVERGREEN VARIABLE ANNUITY FUNDS



I.       Evergreen VA Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund")

         Effective  October 1, 1999,  the Fund will change its name to Evergreen
VA Omega Fund. At this time the Fund will also modify its investment  objective,
strategy, and risk factors as follows:

         Under the section  entitled  "FUND FACTS," the `Goal' will be stated as
`Capital Growth.'

         The section entitled "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE" will state: "The Fund seeks
maximum capital growth."

         The section entitled "INVESTMENT STRATEGY" will state:

         "The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and securities convertible
into common  stocks.  The Fund  utilizes the  fully-managed  investment  concept
whereby the Fund's manager will continuously review the Fund's holdings in light
of market  conditions,  business  developments and economic trends.  During this
review  process,  the Fund's  manager seeks to identify and invest in industries
that are growing faster than the economy.

         "The Fund invests in companies of all sizes. The continuous  review may
lead to high portfolio turnover,  but that will not limit investment  decisions.
The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities.

         "The Fund intends to sell a portfolio  investment when the value of the
investment  reaches or exceeds  its  estimated  fair  value,  when the  issuer's
investment  fundamentals  begin to  deteriorate,  when the  investment no longer
appears  to meet the  Fund's  investment  objective,  when the  Fund  must  meet
redemptions,  or for other investment reasons which the investment advisor deems
necessary.


         "The  Fund  may  invest  up  to  100%  in  high  quality  money  market
instruments  in response to adverse  economic,  political or market  conditions.
This strategy is inconsistent with the Fund's principal  investment strategy and
investment  goal,  and if employed  could  result in a lower  return and loss of
market opportunity."

         The section entitled "RISK FACTORS" will state:

         "Your  investment in the Fund is subject to the risks  discussed in the
"Overview of Fund Risks" on page 1 under the headings:

o        Stock Market Risk
o        Small Company Risk
o        Foreign Investment Risk

         The investment advisor,  the portfolio manager and all fees will remain
the same.



                                                                 OMEGAFD  9/99
