A letter from our President...

Hey everyone!

 

Welcome to the Delta Omega chapter of Gamma Phi Beta at Oakland University!

 

My name is Ava DeVance, and I’m the president of this incredible chapter. I joined Gamma Phi in the Fall of 2022 as a Sophomore. I am now a Senior, and my nearly two years in this chapter have helped me grow and bloom into the woman I’ve always dreamt I could be. My experience in Gamma Phi has taught me leadership, confidence, teamwork, and ambition. I cherish the bonds that have been built within this chapter, and I enjoy watching them strengthen over time. 

 

Since joining in 2022, I’ve had the opportunity to serve in multiple positions for the chapter. I’ve served as the Ritual Chairwoman, the Belonging, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Chairwoman, and served as the sophomore and junior representatives on the Standard’s and Member Selection Committees. These positions have given me priceless experience in directing, presenting, and promoting an inclusive environment. I value the lessons that Gamma Phi teaches me, and I often consider how I will utilize these lessons and skills in my future career. 

 

This year will be a big year for our chapter. Not only is this year the 150th anniversary of the founding of Gamma Phi Beta, it’s also the 40th year of the founding of the Delta Omega chapter at Oakland University! We will also be hosting our annual Moonball Tournament this Spring, and continuing to host our many sisterhoods and socials. 

 

I cannot express enough how much Gamma Phi Beta means to me. Our four core values, Love, Labor, Learning and Loyalty reside in every sister, and shine through everything they do. This chapter has not only helped me flourish, but it has also brought a new meaning to the term sisterhood. I’m honored to lead and learn from these girls, and I hope our chapter is able to bring you a sense of love, labor, learning and loyalty.

 

Thank you for visiting! Enjoy our site!

 

Sincerely,

​

 

Ava DeVance
