The Board of Directors of Gamma-Omicron, Inc. met as scheduled on April 19 in Lawrence to receive reports and conduct routine mid-year business of the corporation. Board membership has been reduced by the recent departure of David Edgar ’92, who has become a partner in a newly established family law firm that will consume his attention for the immediate future. We thank Dave for his years of service and wish him the best in his professional endeavors.

The active chapter and particularly the fall pledge class marked a sharp upswing in academic standings. This was a welcome turnaround from disappointing results last spring. Gamma-O is back in the middle of the academic pack and poised to break into the top quarter. Though the house occupancy rate fell, putting strains on the chapter’s financial operation and social activities, the chapter is not threatened financially The importance of exercising close control of expenses and conducting constant recruiting has been made clear to the young men leading the chapter.

In all other endeavors, the active chapter is clearly in excellent condition. Please see the undergraduate report on page 3 to learn about the chapter’s incredible successes and accomplishments!

We were pleased to have Matt Christensen, the recently appointed DGM for District XXXV, in attendance. Matt is a former U.S. Marine and an alumnus of Tulsa University, where he was initiated. He will be entering Law School at KU this fall after working in Kansas City. Matt is anticipating substantial association with Gamma-Omicron and was impressed with both our physical plant and the high quality of our chapter’s undergraduate leadership. The Board welcomes Matt’s enthusiasm and strong commitment to Kappa Sigma. (continued)
