As an alum & former advisor, I am beyond proud of my ΘΘ @usfchiomega Sisters for earning #ChapterOfTheYear at @usouthflorida!! @chiomegaxo #ChiOmega #ChiOmegaFraternity Reposted from @usfgreeks (@get_regrann) - And finally, the Chapter of the Year Award recognizes a fraternity or sorority that upholds the mission and values of the organization as well as the fraternity and sorority community. This chapter demonstrates overall success in the areas of integrity, learning, leadership, and service. This chapter is acknowledged in the community as a model organization with regard to conduct, leadership development, alumni support and relations, council support and relations, chapter management, recruitment/intake, values congruence, and university engagement. In 2018, Chi Omega has made strides in promoting excellence in scholarship, recruitment, and member accountability. Their signature philanthropy event “Wings for Wishes” not only raised money for the Make the Wish Foundation but was also one of the few events that brought together both FSL and non-NSL student organizations. Above all else, their involvement on campus and in the community has distinguished themselves from other chapters in making them the model organization in the fraternity and sorority community at the University of South Florida. Congratulations to this year’s Chapter of the Year recipient Chi Omega! - #regrann Special thanks to the ΘΘ Advisory & House Corporation Board, and @vianccaw, who continues to lead (all USF GLOs) by example.

Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine's (GCSOM) chapter of the Minority Association of Premedical Students (MAPS) won the 2017-2018 Student National Medical Association (SNMA) national MAPS Chapter of the Year award.
LMU’S STUDENT NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION NAMED REGIONAL CHAPTER OF THE YEAR
Harrogate, Tennessee, April 26, 2016 – The Lincoln Memorial University-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM) chapter of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) was named Region X Chapter of the Year at the 52nd Annual Medical Education Conference (AMEC) on March 23-27, 2016 in Austin, Texas. Region X is composed of the medical schools in Tennessee and Kentucky with SNMA chapters.
During AMEC second-year LMU-DCOM student Courtney Brooks received the Region X Member of the Year Award and was elected Region X director for the upcoming 2016-2017 year. Brooks also serves as president of the LMU-DCOM SNMA chapter. Janice Uduma, a first-year LMU-DCOM student, was elected the Region X webmaster.
At the conference LMU master of science student and incoming LMU-DCOM student, Bukky Ajagbe, presented two workshops and was recognized as the national committee chair for the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students and a Future Leadership Project Fellow.
“It has been a very successful year for our chapter,” Brooks said. “We worked really hard to create initiatives that embody the mission statement and national initiatives of the SNMA, as well as promote LMU-DCOM and the philosophy of osteopathic medicine.”
In November 2015, the LMU-DCOM SNMA hosted the Region X Regional Medical Education Conference (RMEC). The conference included students from LMU-DCOM as well as University of Kentucky School of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and University of Tennessee Health Science Center School of Medicine.

The chapter also worked on establishing a pipeline mentoring program with Northwest Middle School in Knoxville, Tennessee. The pipeline program is designed to help minority students to foster academic and scientific interest at an early age. “The population of minorities in the U.S. has grown, but this growth in diversity is not reflected in the field of medicine,” Brooks said. “That is primarily due to the lack of exposure and support for minority students during their primary education,” Brooks said.
LMU-DCOM SNMA continues to partner with Central American Relief Efforts to organize a medical outreach trips to Honduras. This year 17 first-year osteopathic medical students, supervised by Ava Stanczak, DO, assistant dean of clinical medicine, and Allison Yow, DO, assistant professor of internal medicine, traveled to Pespire, Honduras, to hold a medical clinic and establish a self-sustaining pharmacy in the underserved community.
The LMU-DCOM chapter also was chosen to redesign SNMA’s national publication, So You Want to Be a Doctor? The publication serves as a guide to gaining acceptance into both allopathic and osteopathic medical schools across the country and is available to pre-medical students across the nation. LMU-DCOM is the only osteopathic medical school featured in the publication which highlights LMU-DCOM students and their medical school experience.
SNMA is the oldest and largest student-run organization focused on the needs and concerns of medical students of color. Established in 1964, the SNMA boasts over 40 years of advocacy and service to underserved communities and medical students.
The DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine is located on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. LMU-DCOM is an integral part of LMU’s values-based learning community, and is dedicated to preparing the next generation of osteopathic physicians to provide health care in the often underserved region of Appalachia and beyond.
