We are so proud of our 2017 year and all our sisters, active and alumna, who helped make it an
incredible year! We look forward to 2018 and what the new year brings!
==Highlights of 2018==
Throughout 2018, zeta omega has grown a significant amount, not only in the size of its membership, but also in the sisterhood, leadership and overall individual growth. Led by our President Ashley Powers, focus was put on empowering, supporting and strengthening the chapter and each of its members. The winter term saw an amazing start with a Leadership Consultant visit two days after the official start of classes the term! We greeted Sena with a Chapter dinner at a nearby restaurant and spent the learning about different ways to improve chapter as well as sisterhood. The visit gave us a lot of insight and new perspectives going into the year which ultimately resulted in several positive changes to the structure of chapter council and each individual sister’s involvement. In winter, our VPS Maddie Braun organized some wonderful sisterhoods, first at our local diner Mel’s where sisters enjoyed milkshakes and getting to know their chapter committees and made plans for the rest of the term. Sisterhood was a game of laser tag with the sisters where sisters could bond and catch a break from sitting in lecture halls by getting some exercise. Our last sisterhood was a daylong event with team building games. On top of the sisterhoods she also created a way for sisters to share their concerns in an anonymous manner called kappa konfidential which aided in creating a more open chapter. In the fall term, our VPS Sydney DiTomasso encouraged her committee to contribute to the planning of the sisterhoods, sisterhood one was in a cozy setting where sisters got to paint canvases with our letters; the second sisterhood was a fun outdoor event with hot cocoa and tie-dying shirts, finally our last sisterhood of the winter was a cozy movie night.
Our Vice Presidents of Organization, Mia Chan and Emily McTeague, helped incoming officers transition into their new roles by organizing a Leadership Day in which officer expectations and duties were outlined. They also helped our Leadership Consultants feel right at home on their first trips to Ontario, allowing them to provide guidance and suggestions for improvement to our Chapter. Finally, they encouraged members to become more involved with Chapter by using the committee system and providing a collective goal to work towards, which was achieved and rewarded with an end-of-term movie night.
Alicia Tuck, was our philanthropy chairman and did a stellar job with planning and executing events that benefited our community. For the first philanthropy the chapter made no sew blankets out of fleece to donate to the Kitchener Waterloo shelters in order to help them out with the colder winter months. The next philanthropy was crafting and doing activities with a local special needs group. Our final philanthropy of the winter term was making and selling grilled cheese that was then donated to the mental health association.
Risk Management officer, Grace created fun trivia activities to help members understand the different procedures and regulations sisters have to follow to ensure their (and the chapter’s) safety, this played a large role in allowing the chapter to fully understand the importance of following the risk management policies as well as submitting all required forms on time.
Claire Quong was once again out VPAE and did an amazing job bringing programming to chapter on improving academics and academic habits.
In Winter 2018 we once again had our Sapphire Ball, this time at the Fed Hall on our Campus! Niha Amin, organized the event and worked hard on creating decor and backdrops for the Ball with the help and teamwork lent by our sisters.
