Kappa ranked 4/7 for academics in the Panhellenic Council and greatly increased the number
of members earning 4.0s!
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is our local philanthropy and has been since the founding of
our chapter in 2019. This philanthropy is most important to our chapter as one of our sisters
was diagnosed with lymphoma shortly after founding the chapter. She had to take time off
from school for treatment and has been in remission since February 2019. She returned to her
studies and graduated in May 2020. Supporting LLS every year is a reminder that our
sisterhood goes above and beyond, that we are always here for each other, and are forever
bonded. This year, Kappa Kappa Jamma, a live virtual concert to raise money for the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, was held on April 28, 2021. Sisters were able to attend a
live viewing session in the union and tickets were sold for a zoom viewing. Eta Omega raised
$3,008 and donated it to LLS!
On October 20, 2022, our chapter hosted Fraternity Feud, a family feud type spinoff event
involving 6 Interfraternity Council organizations to raise money for the National Alliance on
Mental Illness (NAMI). Organizations competing included Zeta Beta Tau, Tau Alpha Upsilon,
Sigma Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Zeta Psi, and Phi Psi. Organizations that sponsored the event
included Theta Tau, Phi Alpha Delta, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Zeta Beta Tau, Sigma Chi, and Delta
Sigma Phi. We raised $2,789 for NAMI through sponsorships, donations, and raffles.
2021 was the second year that the Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion officer was a position on Eta Omega’s Chapter Council. This position
was made a permanent member of the Standards Committee and holds a DEI related
programming each semester. Spring 2021’s programming was about white feminism and Fall
2021’s programming was about harm reduction and drug safety. Our chapter also attended
inclusivity recruitment trainings ahead of the next Formal Recruitment.
In Spring 2021, most of our chapter activities remained fully virtual. Chapter
meetings, programming, and Formal Recruitment were all held on Zoom. During Big Little
Week, the Bigs dropped off baskets to our New Member Chairman who coordinated a
contactless drop off so Littles could still receive baskets from their Bigs.
