Changes

Leading up to COB initiation, Marshal Katie Lauck held various ritual reviews and New member Chair Bree Phillips hosted a successful fully in person big/little reveal. Also during this time the AE committee held a registration dinner for all sophomores to help them plan for the coming semester as well as the second Donuts and Deadlines events, both of which were widely attended and enjoyed by the chapter at large. On November 12, a fully in person F-Side was held with the entire chapter and was followed by the annual chapter sleep-over–the first in two years. Members played games, ate pizza and cookie dough, and bonded over the release of the All Too Well short film premiere. The next morning, our new members were initiated in a combined ceremony with the entire chapter there to support them. The following day, Philanthropy Chair Kaylah Linkiwicz hosted Kappa Karnival as our first ever philanthropy event aimed towards supporting the new Kappa philanthropies. Gamma Omega also voted in the 2022 council on this day after a long run of insightful work done by the Nominating Committee headed by senior Zoe Smith. As we move into December, the chapter has begun preparing for the upcoming spring recruitment and looks forward to our second formal– a mytie event being thrown on December 11. Overall, this has been a year with many ups and downs as the chapter navigated a changing social scene and worked to increase communication and sisterhood within the chapter, but nonetheless, Gamma Omega has grown stronger, closer, and better through it all.
