==Highlights of 2017==
Gamma Omicron started off the year with the appointment of the new chapter president, Savanah Richter. She accomplished many significant things within the chapter, including bringing the LeadToday workshop to the chapter. This amazing opportunity was well received by the chapter and helped to better the chapter by demonstrating how important it is to have sisterhood.
The start of the spring semester meant the informal recruitment period had begun. Gamma Omicron welcomed six new initiates, after the completion of their new member period. The membership chairman, Nikki Perkins, began planning formal recruitment in the fall after the successful spring recruitment. Nikki Perkins and her assistant Jordan Hardman prepared the chapter for a successful recruitment with a work week that was fun and focused. The new members were welcomed to Kappa Kappa Gamma with an 80’s themed bid day. After the new member period and with the guidance of the New Member Chairman, Katie Hasse, 34 new members were initiated. Initiation took place on November 11, with the help of the Marshal, Chantelle Runion. The chapter total is 87 with this addition of initiates.
Gamma Omicron put on several major philanthropy events over the past year as well as joined in on many smaller events. The Mr. Wyoming competition was held in the spring and all the money raised was to the Albany County Safe Project. In the spring, the chapter also participated in Relay for life and partnered with the Wyoming Honors Organization to set up an Easter egg hunt for children. In the fall, we had a successful Kappa Kookout event where we received many book donations and money to pass on to Reading is Fundamental. We also helped with Safe Treat on campus and the Big Event which was a campus wide community service project. All of these events combined helped our Philanthropy Chairman, Moriah Duncan, reach her goal of involvement in community events and getting us out on campus.
Since it was Gamma Omicrons 90th anniversary, the chapter decided to host an event and invite the alumni from our chapter to attend. This large event occurred in the fall during the homecoming event at the university. Hundreds of alumni from all over the country came to support our chapter. We raised money for the new renovations taking place, in order to keep the house functioning. The entire chapter enjoyed this event because it brought active members and alumni together. Since it was such a big event, the entire chapter was to be involved to make it a success.
Our Event chairmen, Taylor Oates, continued our traditional Sapphire Ball in the Spring and Barn Dance in the fall. These events are a fun way to get to know our sisters and are a great opportunity for all of us to enjoy ourselves.
Gamma Omicron continues to raise money for Kappa Kappa Gamma's national philanthropy, Reading is Fundamental, the Kappa foundation and our local philanthropy, The Safe Project. Through events such as the Mr. Wyoming Pageant and the Kappa Kookout. Gamma Omicron also participated in Safe Treat, a local, safe trick or treating option for small children on campus. Participated in the Big Event, a city community service event.
