UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA | THETA GAMMA CHAPTER

Our Needs and Opportunities
W
hile the Theta Gamma experience is certainly more than the bricks
and mortar of the chapter house, our home undoubtedly plays a
significant role in the development of our sisters and as a proud symbol of
our shared values and goals.
Built in 1954, with renovations in the 1980s, 1611 College has been a part
of Theta Gamma's legacy for 64 years and it is time to expand to cater
to our larger chapter sizes. It has become clear we must make a major
investment in our chapter house if we are to remain competitive, provide a
quality living environment, have large enough common areas for the entire
Theta Gamma Chapter to enjoy, and provide a safe place for women to live.
KEEPING OUR SISTERS SAFE
The safety of our 320 collegiate members is of utmost importance to the
Theta Gamma House Corporation; we must offer a safe and up-to-date
living facility for the women. Much like our personal homes, our chapter
house must be a safe haven that instills confidence in our members and
their parents. With the unpredictable weather that impacts our state, we
must provide a storm shelter for our members to ensure they have a safe
space available.
SUPPORITNG CHAPTER GROWTH
The women of Theta Gamma are as involved on our campus and in our
community as ever. The collegiate members need additional space to host
group events in the chapter facility. There is not enough square footage to
support the large chapter size. The House Corporation has plans to expand
the dining room and kitchen to support our 320 members.
SETTING OURSELVES APART
While Theta Gamma continues to attract some of the top women, we do not
want to lose women to other sororities that are renovating their facilities.
We must also compete with the amenities offered in newly renovated on-
campus residence halls and off-campus apartments.
For Theta Gamma to remain a premier sorority at the University of
Oklahoma, we must renovate and expand our facility to attract the quality
of women we pride ourselves on.
