Philanthropy Fundraiser Breaks OHE's Record Once More!

As some of you may know, Omega Eta Epsilon focuses its philanthropic and service goals on the causes of literacy, with a specific concentration on children's literacy. In the past, we have partnered with FirstBook, First Five, and the Benerd School of Education in order to bring opportunity and support to both national organizations and local groups within our immediate community.

This Spring, the alpha and only chapter of OHE (which exists on the University of the Pacific campus) has chosen to engage in philanthropic actions for at least three separate week-long campaigns.

Our first campaign, in which we partnered with Krispy Kreme Donuts, has just completed as of Friday last week. We are proud to announce that our profits from selling donuts on campus has broken our previous fundraising record, which was set just last semester!

In total, we raised $356.

In accordance with our partnership with the local community, Omega Eta Epsilon has pledged to use 100% of these funds for the purchasing of children's books, which will then be donated to the Stockton Homeless Shelter for children in need. As we did last semester, OHE will focus these books within the reading levels and language groups most needed by the shelter.

More updates will come as we continue to establish our next service project, and we thank each and every Pacific student, faculty, and staff member who purchased a donut or donated to help our cause!

Welcome Post!

Welcome to the official blog of the world's first professional Greek organization focused on language, literacy, and culture!

History of ΩHE

Omega Eta Epsilon was founded in 2011 at University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California. University of the Pacific still hosts OHE's Alpha and only chapter, which as of 2017 has just initiated its twelfth (mu) class of initiates. The current Alpha chapter of OHE is devoted to outreach and expansion, and looks forward to establishing more chapters on various other campuses across the US.

The primary mission of Omega Eta Epsilon is children's literacy and the advancement of higher learning in language-based disciplines. We are open to students of any major or minor and all genders, a decision which was made in commitment to embracing diversity and accessibility to all. For this reason, we intentionally use gender-neutral language wherever possible, including identifying ourselves as a Greek organization rather than a "fraternity," and participating in fellowship rather than "brotherhood" events.

About this Blog

As of 2017, OHE is unveiling this blog and website as a hub for all current, past, and potential members, and to enact outreach and education to the community at large. We will post news and updates as to the accomplishments of our Alpha chapter, articles of interest to the field of language and literacy, member features profiling current OHE students, and anything else that we believe will inform and/or promote the pursuits of language, literacy, and culture!
