The Omega Zeta sorority was founded in 2000 by strong and independent women who felt it should be possible to be a part of Greek Life while maintaining academics and community service as high priorities. We established five pillars that we feel all members of Omega Zeta should exemplify: service, academics, identity, leadership, and sisterhood. As a sorority, we feel that these aspects, when equally emphasized, not only mirror the spirit of the Austin College liberal arts experience but allow each member to grow into a more confident, more empowered woman. Every year, we hold a bake sale in remembrance of Ella Barker, and donate all the proceeds to upkeep her memorial which is located just outside of the Dean residence hall. We are also very proud supporters of the nonprofit organization, Court Appointed Special Advocates (C.A.S.A) of Grayson County, who send representatives to advocate for abused and neglected children. Our sorority has a dynamic and active role on campus, as many of our sisters hold or have held executive positions in various organizations on campus. We wear light blue and sunshine yellow with pride, and we hold our symbols (the butterfly and daisy) close to our hearts. We believe in always putting our best foot forward because we truly do have “So much to do, so much to be.”
