		+	==Highlights of 2018=='''
		+	This year while making the chapter calendar, our goal was to provide ample time for our members to be aware of upcoming events. That means holding chapter councils members accountable of updating and communicating any important dates and times, and especially any changes in the schedule. Though our Key Reports does not properly reflect our calendar, we do have all of the correct dates on Key Reports.
		+
		+	At our goal planning meeting, we decided that as a new chapter council we wanted to strengthen our leadership, and commitment within the chapter by improving involvement, and accountability. We also noticed that our academic ranking in our Panhellenic community had the potential to stay in the top 5 GPA’s, so we wanted to improve our academic procedures to capitalize on this previously observed trend.
		+
		+	In this past year, Chapter Council has been able to restructure protocols and complete goals that we have set. For example, are chapter council worked to get our chapter off of our Focus Letter. The Pi District’s Content Specialists felt that our chapter needed to focus on strengthening our sisterhood and improving risk management. As stated above, we strategized our goals with the purpose of improving our chapter. We hoped that creating these goals would increase our chances of being taken off of our focus letter upon review from the District Director.
		+
		+	After ending last year in some trouble from our semi formal, we started off 2018 with a plan to rethink our rules and regulations for events. The event chair and president along with the rest of chapter council implemented more efficient check in procedures, risk team policies (including upping the number of members on risk team per event) and pre-event etiquette preparation. Since we started doing these things, all of our events since last January have gone very smoothly. We’ve had a mix of formals, date socials and then barn dance, leaving each without making any trouble. We are very proud of our members as they have been willing to shift towards some of these stricter and more structured policies to better the beta omega chapter. We are excited to see what events 2019 brings.
		+
		+	The Beta Omega chapter has had quite the year here at the University of Oregon! We’ve enjoyed many sisterhoods, formals, and living out our rituals. Kappa has strong support for other chapters on our campus. Our members have attended various philanthropy and community events.
		+
		+	Juniors Meredith Kinnaman and Maddy Petitt had the amazing opportunity to attend the Kappa Convention in Denver over the summer and gained new skills and ideas to make our chapter better.
		+
		+	''''''Chapter Philanthropy''''''
		+
		+	The Beta Omega chapter at the University of Oregon supports three different organizations through our philanthropy events. Our local philanthropy is called Early Childhood CARES. Located close to campus, this organization was created to provide early intervention and early special education to infants, toddlers and pre-school aged children in the area. It provides numerous services to the children it serves and their families including parent consultation, specialized pre-school and speech, physical or occupational therapy. EC CARES serves over 1600 children with developmental delays or disabilities each year.
		+
		+	The Beta Omega chapter is involved with this organization in a variety of ways. We support them through our annual philanthropy, Kappa Dodgeball. This event is a day long dodgeball tournament attended by both Greek and non-Greek members of the university community. Over 70 teams compete throughout the day and this event raises over $10,000 each year. EC CARES is also supported by our members as volunteers. In the past, our donations to EC CARES have gone to building an inclusive playground for their students and buying iPads for classes. Our history with EC CARES has been a long one, supporting them for more than a decade and our relationship with them has grown and developed though the years.

		+	''''''Chapter Facility''''''

		+	Our Chapter meets in Lawrence 177, a classroom at the University of Oregon every Monday

		+	==Highlights of 2017==
		+	There have not been that many changes to the campus in the past year. The big one is that they have focused on risk management and event planning safety tips. Our chapter has adopted these new changes and have bettered our risk management and event planning.Our
		+
		+	Our chapter has been giving to and supporting the following philanthropies:
		+	Early Childhood Cares (Local Philanthropy)
		+	Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation (National Philanthropy)
		+	Reading is Fundamental (National Philanthropy)
		+
		+	We continue to give to Early Childhood Cares because we felt it carried the values that Kappa Kappa Gamma has as a national organization. It also plays a big roll on the University of Oregon campus.

 Philanthropy events consisted of visiting convalescent homes and working with children at an underprivileged day care. In 1989, they teamed up with Sigma Phi Epsilon at Oregon State to create a bike race from Eugene to Corvallis. It was a huge success and the funds were raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
-Beta Omega celebrated their 75th Anniversary in 1988 (check to see if this was actually 1987, since the report covered both 1987 and 1988) and their semi-formal chapter dance was in honor of the anniversary. Also in 1988, the chapter won for the second year in a row “Serenade,” the song and dance competition held during Greek Week. In 1989 the chapter was recognized as the “Most Outstanding Sorority on Campus” and won Greek Days of Giving.

 The chapter wrapped up the ‘80s with a public relations chapter goal of “Less of Me, More of We, We All Work for KKG.” There were several sisterhood events and activities with other sororities which helped to promote the Kappa name in a positive way. The chapter also embarked on raising Kappas GPA in 1988 and in 1989 their chapter goal was “Save Our Scholarship.”

 The stamina which enabled Beta Omega to find boarders and to keep the chapter going when it thought that only two girls would be making up the entire group, and the independence of spirit which has characterized the chapter from the start, can be seen today.

 '''Chapter:''' Within the chapter we are starting to focus on things we can improve on. We have a plan to remodel the kitchen, expanding the dining room in the process. It it set to take place over the summer of 2011 and be done before that Fall term. We also received comcast T.V. in the Krib to allow more girls to watch the shows they want when the television in the living room is taken.
 One challenge that we had to face in the Fall term of 2010 was the fact that not everyone could cram into the dining room for chapter. This was due to the increasingly large pledge class sizes. We overcame this challenge by making arrangements with the University of Oregon to use a lecture size classroom a few blocks away. It has worked very well! We now have our own personal space, we can see the officers better, and we don't get overheated and restless. Also due to the large number of girls the kitchen was no longer able to accommodate us for formal dinners. They didn’t have enough space to store all the food in the tiny kitchen. We adjusted and now we have normal dinner before chapter. Another issue was keeping everyone motivated to stay involved. Some girls didn’t feel like showing up to chapter or participating in events. We are starting to overcome this challenge by creating positive incentives to attend things, such as games, candy or other prizes. It has helped immensely and the negativity in the house has subsided.

		+	==Highlights of 2016==
		+
		+	2016 was another banner year for the Beta Omega chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. This year we improved in areas of overall grade point average and rank, and also our awareness of college campus issues such as substance abuse and sexual assault prevention. It continued to be a strong year for philanthropy, sisterhood, and recruitment.
		+
		+	At the beginning of 2016, Beta Omega once again held our winter philanthropy event, Kappa Dodgeball. We are fortunate to have this event increase every year and continue to be the most attended Greek event on campus. This year raising over 10,000 dollars, Beta Omega was able to donate a full playground to our local philanthropy, Early Childhood Cares, which helps children under the age of five with developmental disabilities. Our most successful aspect of philanthropy this year was creating groups within Kappa to attend other Greek life philanthropic events. This created a huge increase in our Greek community involvement and gave more support to all Greek life philanthropic organizations.
		+
		+	In the spring we held our Barn Dance, Spring Fling, and Mom’s Weekend. This year our mom’s club helped raise even money to renovate our living room to be beautiful and recruitment ready!
		+
		+	In the fall we had another successful recruitment gaining 62 wonderful new members into the chapter. Our Bid Day Theme was “Go Kappa Went Kappa” and decorations and food of all shades of blue and blue filled our house as the new members ran to their new home.
		+
		+	On October 13th, we held a Founder’s Day with a dessert celebration and time capsule activity. The members of Beta Omega wrote down their favorite memories and blessing that Kappa has given them, to be opened by the new freshmen on their senior Founder’s Day. It was a sweet idea that gave the graduating seniors time to think of all they have gained from Beta Omega, while the new members were excited to experience Kappa Kappa Gamma for the next few years.
		+
		+	Overall, 2016 proved to be another year of growth for the Beta Omega women, who consistently strive to be good examples of women and sisterhood, and who wear their letters proud.
