Susana “Susie” Chavez Priscilla Lopez-Rangel Omicron Mistica #7 Major: Civil Engineering "As I was acquainting myself with the lovely ladies of the Sorority, I immediately realized that I could be myself and not have to walk on eggshells. This sparked my interest and led me to become further educated on all that Gamma Alpha Omega offered. The things that really amazed me were how each of the ladies carried themselves (not only with each other but with other people), how close they were to one another, and the pride/ esprit de corps that they felt towards their organization and their community. Being a part of the Buddy Program showed me how determined and dedicated these ladies were to improving their lives and also improving the lives of people within their community. I got to witness firsthand that they were not only members of the same organization but that they were truly “sisters” and were working hard to strengthen their bond so that they could be the best that they could be. All the volunteer work, community service, etc that they do is not just done because they have do; it’s done because they really want to give back to their community. The day I became a Gamma, was one of the best days of my life. It has opened so many doors for me and taught me so many things about myself and my culture. Now that I’m in the sorority, I am fully aware of everything it has to offer and would go through the whole process all over again if I had to. And to the ladies of the Xi Class—SFD, we did it!" TOP Daisy Flores Dulce Soñadora #8 Major: Psychology w/ minor in Human Development When I arrived to WSU, joining a non-traditional sorority had never crossed my mind, in fact I didn’t even know they existed. My first weekend at WSU I was introduced to some of the ladies of GAO. They made me feel welcome in a place where I hardly knew anybody so I figured why not look into the organization more and as I did, I learned that the ladies weren’t just a social organization, but also an organization that cared about their community and giving back in any way they could. Not just that though, I loved the way the ladies carried themselves with such confidence and they took such pride in their organization. I could tell it was something they truly believed in and cared about. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the pledge process, but I came out of it a stronger person and am truly glad I decided to go through it. I have gained a better understanding and determination of my future goals, gained confidence within myself, and a great love and pride to be a sister of GAO. I love my organization and my sisters and I’m excited to see what comes next. Aneida Zamora Omicron Invencible #9 Major: Biology Coming to Washington State University after having a baby was a very difficult decision for me. I came here with the goal to create a better life for myself and my family. When I met the Distiguished Damas of GAO they made me feel welcome on this campus. I learned more about the sorority and saw the passion in which they talked about and it was something that I wanted for myself as well. I believe that becoming a member of Gamma Alpha Omega has made me a stronger person, and throughout this process I have grown and have established an everlasting bond with my line sisters that will continue beyond college. I have a support system to lean on when life gets hard and to celebrate my accomplishments with. Through becoming a Gamma Alpha Omega member I have joined a family a home away from home that encourages me to succeed academically, and serves the community.
