Chi Omega remains one of the top contenders in Greek Games and Intramural Sports. Since sororities have been participating in Greek Games, Chi Omega sisters have dominated in the pyramid event and Greek Games as a whole. Last year, our Chi-O Crazies IM volleyball team made it to the finished 3rd in the playoffs. In the IM Swim Meet, Chi Omega won the overall meet, won both Relays, and had 6 individual first place finishes.
The Gamma Lambda sisters of Chi Omega are very involved in other activities on campus. For example, we have over thirty members playing eleven varsity and club sports including volleyball, basketball, cheerleading, golf, lacrosse, soccer, track and field, cross country, softball, cycling and triathlon. We had 6 girls compete and finish in Rose-Hulman's Triathlon in 2010.
There are also many sisters participating in organizations such as Society of Women Engineers, The Rose Thorn (school newspaper), AXE (chemical engineering professional fraternity), Circle K, Blue Key, Alpha Phi Omega (service fraternity), Habitat for Humanity, Engineers Without Borders and so much more. We have almost 40 sisters on the Career Fair Team. Needless to say, the sisters of the Gamma Lambda Chapter are involved and well cultured women.
Congrats to the Rose-Hulman Volleyball Team on their first place finish in Conference! We wish our sisters luck as they travel to Transylvania for Conference Tournament play! 
Congrats to Liz Evans for winning the NCAA Division 3 Indoor Women's High Jump National Title! She earned the title by clearing 5' 7 3/4" on her first attempt. We are so proud of you!
E-mail Brittany Lake your resumes so that she can have them on record and help girls out! Also let her know if you have an internship, co-op, or job lined up for the near future!

The Friendship and Social Cardinal Cabinet is responsible for planning events where Chi Omegas get to foster friendships withpeople outside of Chi Omega. This includes Date Parties, Chi-O Hayride and Haunted House, Snowy Owl Bowl with FIJI, Trick or Treat for Canned Goods with Pike, Putt-Putt with Triangle, Formal/Semi-Formal, Pimpkin Carving, Christmas Tree Decorating, and other various social events.
Every year Chi Omega hosts a formal or semi-formal event to which sisters get to bring dates and enjoy a night out with good food, pretty dresses, and lots of fun. This year everyone enjoyed a new event. One winter night when we all showed up ready for Chapter, we were surprised and told that we had 30 minutes to find a date and to come back in comfy clothes to watch a funny movie. This Date Dash was a great success with food and lots of fun trying to find a last minute date. Social events are always full of fun and great surprises.

Community service is one of the six fundamental purposes of the Chi Omega fraternity and is a primary focus to the women of the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Chi Omega. The women of the Gamma Lambda Chapter work together to support Chi Omega's alliance with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To support this alliance, the women of the Rose-Hulman and ISU chapters hold an annual fundraiser called Make A Dish for Make-A-Wish.
This event helps the Make-A-Wish Foundation grant wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enish the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Every year they ask the Make-A-Wish foundatino to allow us to sponsor a local Terre Haute Child. In 2009 we raised $4500 to send a local Vigo County girl to Disney. This year, set a goal of $6000 and came very close, raising $5990.07. In preparation for the event, girls seek support from the community to provide food, donate silent auction basket items, and sponsor carnival games. The event also includes entertainment for younger kids, music, and a 50/50 raffle and takes place in Rose-Hulman's Union with the support of Aramark and the wonderful staff. 2010 was the 7th year our chapter has held a major event in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and it is always a great success!
Last year, we welcomed the Gamma Lambda pledge class of 2011! It consisted of 16 new members. We are so proud of these ladies!
Here at Rose-Hulman wea re all here studying to be engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. Rose-Hulman is an extremely difficult curriculum, but there is a lot of support and motivation in the Gamma Lambda chapter of Chi Omega. All of our sisters work very hard and know that scholarship is important. We are very involved on campus, but understand that being a good student is the first priority. Sisters help each other succeed in school. Some examples include study groups, lab partners, being a tutor for a sister, and class files. Currently Chi Omega has the highest GPA of the sororities and fraternities at Rose-Hulman for the winter 09-10 term with a chapter average of 3.24. This is our 2nd highest chapter GPA of all time (highest in 1996). We also beath the all-Greek average (3.03) and the all women's average (3.19).
We use our weekly chapter meetings to promote good study habits. Every week girls earn the opportunity to enter The Skippy Jar drawing if they did not skip class the previous week. There is a drawing at the end of the term and the girl whose name is drawn wins a prize. Nerd-of-the-Week stories are a fun way for sisters to share funny stories about other sisters who were nerdy during the week. Study tid-bits are fun, quick study tips that are provided to the chapter, weekly. At the beginning of every term we set chapter and individual GPA goals, exchange books (share, borrow, or buy), and pass out finals study packs as a little motivation. Files and tutors are always available upon request to the Scholarship Director. Prior to registration for the next term, girls make professor recommendations from experience. Before finals, study packs are provided. Then after grades are received, rewards are given for academic acheivement.
The girls of the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Chi Omega partcipate in community service activities year-round. In addition to our major event, Make a Dish for Make a Wish, girls have fun with community service. December brings several events with Christmas right around the corner. Clothe a Child is a widely popular community service event. For this event, girls get up at 4:30 am to help local kids pick out clothes at Wal Mart, donated by Wal Mart. Despite the daunting early start time, the fact that many of these children will not receive anything else for Christmas makes this event important to our girls. Another annual event is Happiness Bag. For this event, girls shop for Christmas presents for an assigned person at Happiness Bag that may not receive many other, if any, Christmas gifts. The girls then have a dressed up dinner with the people at Happiness Bag and the men of Phi Gamma Delta, where Santa delivers the gifts. Also in December, our girls assemble bikes at Bikes for Tykes that will be given to Chrildren in the Terre Haute area.
At Valentine's Day, we host a Crush Sale including carnations, candy and glass bottles of Crush soda. The proceeds from the Crush Sale went to the American Heart Association this year. In the spring, many girls volunteer weekly at the Terre Haute Human Society, where they are trained to walk and take care of the dogs. Girls also volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Up Til Dawn, and tutoring at the Vigo County Public Library, as well as other organizations. It is important for the sisters of the Rose-Hulman Chi Omega chapter to devote time to the community and strengthen their sisterhood at the same time.
The Sisterhood Cardinal Cabinet strives to bring the sisters of Chi Omega together with bonding activities and fun events. Sisters get to bond during Homecoming, where Chi Omega loves to welcome its alumni back and enjoy the Sisterhood that is for a lifetime. Other much loved events include: Death by Chocolate Night, Cinco de Chi O, quarterly sisterhood events, and Mom's Day. In the future, we are considering adding events such as movie night and laser tagging.
While events are enjoyable and fun to look forward to, real sisterhood takes place everyday. The best times shared with sisters are unplanned and spontaneous. Many girls enjoy getting to live with other sisters and love sharing the best moments of college together. Sisterhood is all about hanging out and enjoying time together.
