Our Needs and Opportunities
W
hile the Delta Gamma experience is certainly more than the
physical structure of a chapter house, a home for our chapter will
undoubtedly play a significant role in the development of our sisters and
serve as a proud symbol of our shared values and goals.
BUILDING A NEW HOME
Alpha Omega's previous home on Maple Street currently houses offices
for University Development and is owned by the University of Arkansas.
Delta Gamma Fraternity and Alpha Omega volunteers did consider the
possibility of purchasing the home back, but after much deliberation and
assessment, it was concluded that the land and the house would not be
competitive or be able to house over 80 women and provide a meeting
space to safely fit over 400 members. Just as every effort will be made to
support the success of Alpha Omega's recolonization, every effort must
also be made to provide a safe, competitive facility for Alpha Omega's
newest sisters.
PURSUING EXCELLENCE
The University of Arkansas is as academically challenging as ever and the
need for an enhanced, quiet, well-lit and comfortable study space within
our facility is necessary for our members to achieve. We have all seen the
impact of technology over the years, as devices not present during your
college years are now necessities, including personal computers, high-
speed internet access, email and more. Our plan will ensure that Alpha
Omega excels academically and remains scholastic leaders on campus and
within the Greek community.
SETTING OURSELVES APART
For Alpha Omega to attract some of the top women at the University
of Arkansas, we know that we must provide a chapter facility that is
competitive with other sororities on campus. Several sororities have
recently built or renovated their chapter houses at Arkansas; Chi Omega,
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Mu, Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Omicron Pi are just
a few of the updated facilities in Fayetteville. We must also compete with
the amenities offered in newly renovated on-campus residence halls and
off-campus apartments.
In summary, to meet the needs of our newest members and to solidify our
legacy on campus, we must build a new home to ensure the Alpha Omega
chapter is offering a first-class facility to our collegiate sisters.
