Gamma Chapter

Est. 1991

Chapter History
In the Spring semester of 1991, the Gamma Chapter of Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was established representing the first latina-oriented organization at Union College. After attending an informational at the State University of New York at Albany, a small group of Union students saw an opportunity to set precedent at Union College and in the community at large. Gamma Chapter was established on the basis of a fulfilling a need to enhance diversity on campus; to serve and educate the community at large; and create a supportive network of women from all walks of life. Hence, Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Gamma Chapter has evolved into a "home away from home," a place that celebrates diversity and promotes professionalism, academic and personal excellence.

Chapter Cause: Child Welfare
The Sisters of Gamma Chapter have chosen Child Welfare as its chapter cause. The impact of exposing children and adolescents to college and to the overall academic experience cannot go unnoticed. We believe that the positive well being of a child is, in part, determined by the level of education that child receives. Thus, Gamma Chapter's efforts primarily revolve around reaching out to the youth living in the surrounding communities of Union College. Briefly, Sisters often volunteer their services as tutors, invite students onto Union College campus, organize book drives, and participate in the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs in the Schenectady community.
