Highlights of 2014
The Chapter of Gamma Omicron holds chapter meetings in the Chapter Room, located in the basement of the house. This is a chapter owned facility. The Gamma Omicron chapter has the privilege of owning a house that provides the opportunity for the chapter members to live together. The Kappa Kappa Gamma house for the chapter of Gamma Omicron has only been relocated once in the mid-1900s. It was moved from Grand Ave. to its current location on Sorority Row.
 
 
==Highlights of 2015==
 
The first major event of 2015 was the appointment of a new president, Jessica Johnson. Along with the appointment of the new president the Gamma Omicron chapter also transitioned several women into a variety of officer positions. Briana Long, Kellsey Hansen, and Elizabeth Cardenas all were elected to hold Panhellenic positions.
With spring came informal spring recruitment. The women of Gamma Omicron welcomed two new initiates, after the completion of their new member period. After a successful informal spring recruitment the chapter began planning for fall formal recruitment. After a stressful and exiting work week lead by the membership chairman Casandra Herndon and her assistant Yonne Helene the women of Gamma Omicron were well prepared for requirement. The new members were welcomed to Kappa Kappa Gamma with a welcome to the jungle themed bid day. After a thorough new member period and the guidance of the New Member Chairman, Savanah Moyte, 27 new members initiated. Initiation took place on November 14, with the guidance of the Marshel Christine Bulgrin. With the new initiates the chapter has a total of 83 initiated members.
 
Gamma Omicron chapter received an award at the annual Greek Awards. Janet Anderson received an award for her dedication as an advisor for Gamma Omicron. Gamma Omicron also received the honor of being the highest raising sorority for Relay for Life
 
A focus of Gamma Omicron in the 2015 year has been academics. With the help of the vice president of academic excellence, Ciera Mendicino, the ladies of Gamma Omicron's GPA continued to rise and their hard work paid off with an average chapter GPA above both all women’s and all Fraternity and Sorority GPAs both semesters.
Describe the recent changes on your campus and describe the overall nature of your chapter.
The University of Wyoming continues to change and grow. A major change was the completion of the Half Acre gym. The Gamma Omicron chapter house has also seen some changes over the year including, new carpet in the formal living room and game room. The physical changing to the house and the growing number of members have not changed the overall nature of Gamma Omicron. It continues to be a positive and supportive chapter, with a focus on sisterhood.
Chapter Philanthropy:
 
What organization(s) has your chapter historically/traditionally raised money for, or donated hours to, in your community?

The chapter continues to raise money for Kappa Kappa Gamma's national philanthropy, Reading is fundamental, the Kappa foundation and Gamma Omicrons local philanthropy The Safe Project. Through events such as the Mr. Wyoming Pageant and a joint philanthropy event with Sigma Phi Epsilon Kappa’s Sigepic tailgate. Gamma Omicron also participated in Safe Treat, a local safe trick or treat option for children on campus. Helped at the local soup kitchen and was part of the big Event, a city community service event. Gamma Omicron's philanthropic success was headed by the philanthropy chairman Amanda Sisco.
 
Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support?
Gamma Omicron choose to donate money to the Safe Project because their mission is to advocate for and empower survivors of stalking, intimate partner, family and sexual violence. Their education and awareness efforts are focused on prevention and improved community response. The women of Gamma Omicron believe that it is important to empower those who feel unsafe. Gamma Omicron also enjoys helping with the Big Event (a community wide service event.) because we believe that the community has supported us and given us so much that it is important to give back.
