Chapter History
Founding
After being a Charter member at Gamma Pi, Katie Goddard moved to Norman, Oklahoma to continue her education. Disappointed that there wasn't a chapter already established at the University of Oklahoma, she set out to start one. After a semester working with Betsy Jaquith the Director of Expansion at National Headquarters, the initial interest meetings were scheduled.
As one of the last chapters created before the Colony Program began, Gamma Phi was founded and inducted in just two meetings. On February 26, 1998, in the midst of a torrential rain storm, Gamma Phi was founded. The Charter class started out with just over 150 students.
Early Years
Gamma Phi Chapter, especially Karen Cohick along with the Beta and Gamma Sigma Chapters founded "WICKED" (The Western Interchapter Conference of Knowledge Education and Development). Every spring semester, normally around February, the Southwest Regional Conference, WICKED, happens.
