Aside from being the first chapter chartered in Northwest Indiana, Gamma Psi Omega Chapter was also the first chapter in Gary to have a member hold a national office. Gladys Bufkin-Johnson served as the International Treasurer in the 1950s.

For more than 77 years, Gamma Psi Omega has exemplified excellence in service to Northwest Indiana through active programming. Such programs and activities include Pink Goes Red (for heart disease), collecting shoes and eyeglasses for Global Impact Days, Diabetes Alert Day, Breast Cancer Impact Day, Care for the Caregivers, serving high school students through #CAP (College Admissions Process), Women’s Health initiatives, Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, and providing scholarships for graduating high school seniors.

Gamma Psi Omega is an award-winning Central Region chapter and has been honored on both the regional and international levels. Gamma Psi Omega is also the home chapter of the world-renowned singing choral group the “Ivy Notes”. The Ivy Notes have performed at regional and international conferences and have been lauded by Regional Directors and International Presidents.

Under the leadership of thirty-two presidents, Gamma Psi Omega Chapter has been steadfast in her excellent service to the Northwest Indiana community.
