→Highlights of 2018
Claire Quong was once again out VPAE and did an amazing job bringing programming to chapter on improving academics and academic habits.
In Winter 2018 we once again had our Sapphire Ball, this time at the Fed Hall on our Campus! Niha Amin, organized the event and worked hard on creating decor and backdrops for the Ball with the help and teamwork lent by our sisters.
==Highlights of 2019==
The year 2019 marked a tremendous amount of growth within our chapter, both individually and as a whole. In the winter, we spent time giving back to the community through a variety of creative avenues. Starting off we ran an information booth in the University’s Student Life Centre with information on cervical cancer and resources on reproductive health. The booth also included an interactive component of a spinnable wheel with colour coordinated envelopes that contained a small candy and an important fact.
We then worked with another sorority on campus to help create care packages that could then be donated to homeless shelters. To the end off the term, we held a bake sale and donated all proceeds to the kids’ reading program at our local public library. We later went back to the library to spend time with kids and read with them as a chapter.
Zeta Omega also took care in playing a role in helping the environment by attending a park clean up with another sorority. Outside of official philanthropies, our chapter also had many sisters volunteer around the community, including our sister Mia Chan going above and beyond by starting a social media campaign called ‘Behind My Mind’ which aims to provide mental health tips as well as destigmatize mental health and “shine light on the realities of mental health and illnesses, one mind at a time”.
Our Saphire ball was held at the Delta Hotel in Waterloo and featured beautiful decorations, the most delicious appetizers, a lot of lovingly written speeches and chapter awards.
After our summer break we came back together and got ready for another great year of recruitment. Under the leadership of our powerhouse membership chair Shannel Nguyen, we had an amazing and well organized recruitment that ultimately resulted in recruiting 21 amazing ladies that became
perfect editions to our ever growing chapter after a well executed inspiration week.
This year we participated in sisterhood events that acted as stress relievers from our busy academic schedules, but also played an important role in strengthening our chapter’s sisterly bonds. Some of the highlights include a trip to Skyzone, yoga, destressing spa days and board game days. We also had an amazing Touch of Klass to end off the term which was run by Isabelle Lavallée-Gordon at an anticafe that featured lots of desserts and many opportunities for sisters to bond with each other and reflect on the past term.
