On April 24, 1998, The Epsilon Charter at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside was born and officially recognized as a Charter of Gamma Alpha Omeg
a Sorority. The two determined women left from what was once twelve, had completed the initiation process and accomplished their dream. Hermana Erica "Payasa" Davalos and Hermana Tanya "Muneca" Demairas are respectively recognized as Epsilon Chapter Founding Mothers. The second step was to extend their family, so on September 30th, 1998 at approximately 11:15 am Hermana Jessica "Alma" Bernal and Hermana Gabriela "Chispas" Anaya were welcomed into Gamma Alpha Omega Sorority Epsilon Charter as Epsilon Charters.

Since then, we have grown hence having numerous sisters of different backgrounds, as well as at Carthage College. We are a service sorority dedicated to the needs of the community. Society draws its strength and vitality from the diversity of its people. Gamma Alpha Omega Sorority, Inc. is enriched by building a sisterhood that celebrates and draws upon the talents of all its members. does not discrimination based upon race, color, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, marital status, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other basis of discrimination precluded by federal and state statues. does not condone any form of hazing. It is contrary to the purpose of a sorority and does not represent what a sisterhood is.
