Oral History
Are there any current members, alumnae or advisers from your chapter that you recommend for the Fraternity’s oral history project? We are looking for Kappas with stories to tell – funny chapter memories, great professional achievement stories, heartwarming stories of how Kappa has helped them, etc. Natalie Kindler is a Gamma Omega alumnae. She graduated in 2017 and is now a Leadership Consultant, so she can share how her time at Gamma Omega lead her to her position as a leadership consultant.
==Highlights of 2018==
This past spring we initiated thirty new members and we initiated an additional two new members in the fall through continual open bidding.
Our chapter goals for the year included: Improving sisterhood within the chapter, increasing attendance to events, improving public relations, having a successful COB in the fall, and increasing collaboration with other FSL organizations. Kate Aumuller (President) and Mikayla Trimpey (Marshal) attended the 2018 National Convention.
The women in our chapter are involved and recognized in the Panhellenic community. We have representation on the Panhellenic Executive Board through Emma Steinman, who is the Vice President of Administration, and Alexa Meller, who is the Vice President of Development. At the Greek awards, Gamma Omega received 7 different awards: Greek Scholar Award (Alivia Tachney), Outstanding Athlete Award (Lauren Secaras), E Clark Morrow Outstanding Alumni (Natalie Kindler), Outstanding Greek Advisor (Lisa Thompson), Outstanding PR, Outstanding Recruitment, and Fraternal Purpose Runner Up.
In the past year, we have supported numerous organizations philanthropy events including Anchor Splash (Delta Gamma), Tug of War (Beta Theta Pi), Lambda Haunted House (Lambda Chi Alpha), Phi Psi Relay (Phi Psi), D-Chi Car Smash (Delta Chi). We also had a team for Relay for Life.
In the spring and fall semesters of 2018 the Gamma Omega chapter supported Kendal at Granville. This organization was chosen because it was a way for our chapter to support and give back to our local community. Kendal is our local philanthropy because it was a close location that needed help. We also had Kappa alumni who worked or lived there.
The Gamma Omega chapter meets at 110 N. Mulberry Street, a house we own, where we hold weekly meetings in. The house is located on South Quad. Members of Gamma Omega do not live in the house, but instead use it for our weekly chapter and council meetings, as a place to hang out with fellow sisters, or to do homework. Our house mom Cheryl Moore is new this year.

The Gamma Omega chapter is a supportive organization. For example, every week at chapter meetings we announce our involvements so others can attend. We have women in DUwop, the Theatre department, the Music department, Denison Independent Theater Association (DITA), Burpees, the Genital Monologues, Denison Feminists, Denison Democrats, Women in Math and Computer Science, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), Volunteers for the Humane Society, and SHARE Advocates. We also have women who participate in varsity athletics on the Softball, Rugby, Cheerleading, and Soccer Teams.
