Delta Omega chose this organization to support because it coincides with our national philanthropy RIF. It is great to provide the kids with books to read, and to volunteer our time to better their ability to read.
==Highlights This past year has been definitely one to remember, and also very sucessful for the Delta Omega Chapter of 2020sKappa Kappa Gamma to say the least. This past spring of 2016 we were grateful to welcome four new sisters, and then in the fall of 2016 twenty-three with a total of 27 new members. Additionally, our philanthropy chairman, Madison Dakovich, with the help of the chapter, put on two philanthropies that everyone was able to enjoy. In the spring we held Kappa Karnival, and Kappa Softball in the fall, where we raised money for our local charity Stone Soup and donated money to Reading Is Fundamental. We are extremely proud to say we were able to donate $1400. Aside from putting on our own philanthropies, we also particpated in many of the fraternities philanthropies. Delta Omega took first place in Pike mud volleyball and just recently Sigma Phi Epsilon's Queen Hearts. We were also very excited to participate and place in Delta Sigma Phi powderpuff and Sigma Chi Derby Days, where we helped raise nearly $3000 for Children's Hospital. Along with philanthropies we were also very active in serving our community. Many of us volunteered at Stone Soup and read to the class, passed out papers on Kid's Day, and helped clean a local women's shelter, which all served as wonderful experiences for the sisters. Throughout this year our Standard's committee has put on multiple sisterhood events in order to promote sisterhood. Some events included:==Kamp Kappa, football game t-shirt making, study nights, and yoga nights. This past summer we were honored to have five girls attend the national Kappa Kappa Gamma convention in San Diego, where we also were awarded for having a exemplerary Standard's committee. Madison Prettyman, Hannah Johnson, NIcole Price, Kennedy Cain, and LIsa Tobias all came back from the convention with fresh ideas and stories that all helped benefit the Delta Omega chapter. Our sister Ariel S. attended the Kappa Leadership Academy in Ohio where she learned different leadership skills to bring back to the Delta Omega Chapter. This past year, our sisters, Kelli Kennedy, Madison Prettyman, Abigail Hudson, and Ally Zavala all served as ASI leaders on campus, and our very own Abigail Hudson served as the ASI President. Madison Prettyman, Kennedy Cain, Celexa Ramirez, and Ally Zavala all received scholarships from the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation and this year's Founder's Day Luncheon. In addition to that, Ally Zavala received the Rhodes Buck scholarship from Kappa Kappa Gamma as well. On campus, our sister Shelbie Ohanesian received the Armenian scholarship and the Women's BIA scholarship. Additionally, Kennedy Cain received the Robert and Norma Craig education scholarship. In addition, we have received top grades on campus for four semesters in a row maintaing a 3.21 GPA. We are all immensely proud of our excellence this past year in philanthropies, sisterhood, and scholarships.

The Delta Omega chapter holds chapter meetings in our Kappa Kappa Gamma house on campus every Monday night. This is a facility we own. We are very gracious that this facility was just recently renovated in the summer. This house was built in 1963 on Greek row, which we currently own and accommodate 40 sisters that live in. Before Fresno State moved to the current campus, Delta Omega had a 14-room house, which was rented near the previous campus. We are happy we are now able to allow many more sisters live in.
