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.
==Highlights of 2019==
We started the year with a wonderful group of New Members after our Formal Recruitment in January. Also in the Spring, we held our annual book drive-- we donated all books to an after school program called A Noble Cause at PAR excellence academy in Newark, Ohio-- as well as our Kappacino event. Our chapter participated in the campus-wide banner display that aided in the awareness of Sexual Respect on campus. We also This was our second year doing Kappa Karnival and, though the weather was not on our side, we still managed to have a successful event, raising $1,480! This Fall we also started to celebrate our chapter’s 90th year by hosting a reunion event weekend at our house and we invited all sorts of Gamma Omega alumna as well as local Kappa’s from different chapters. The weekend included a business panel with alumni, an open house (where alums were able to see all of the renovations that the house underwent in the last few years), and a dinner event. It was a great way to introduce our active members to our very accomplished alumna. To finish the year, we initiated our COB members in December.
The University has recently opened new Social Spaces on campus which has allowed our chapter to more easily engage with the Denison community. The Greek community as a whole as worked a lot this year on increasing Greek unity between the different councils represented at our school, and Kappa has fully embraced this push by attending philanthropy and educational events hosted by other councils as well as attending events from Denison’s first Greek Week.
For founders Day, we had a sisterhood event where we had cake and other desserts as we played a fun game about our organization’s history and learned some new and old songs that we can sing at future events
