The Cameron/RSU chapter of SOEA was formed in the Fall of 2007. Since that time, the chapter has grown in numbers and has participated in campus service projects as well as providing professional related programs to SOEA members.

Chapter officers include Tamika Sharp, President, Stephanie Cheatwood, Vice President, Kristin Littlefield, Treasurer and Jennie Bickford, Secretary.

The chapter, also,  participated in a Christmas 2008 Service Project benefiting SafeNet Services Inc, a Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Agency in Claremore, Oklahoma. The chapter distributed flyers asking RSU students to donate clothing, toys and toiletries. At the end of the three week campaign chapter members delivered two refrigerator boxes full of donations for distribution to SafeNet clients.
