Recognizing Outstanding Collegiate Leaders
Order of Omega is a leadership honor society for undergraduate members of raternity & sorority organizations.
The Order recognizes sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have exemplified high standards in the areas of:
- Scholarship,
- Leadership,
- Involvement within:
- their respective organization
- the fraternity/sorority community,
- the campus, and
- local community.
Our leadership honor society members in the U.S. and Canada share our goal of recognizing the many outstanding upperclassmen or student leaders at their institutions.
About Our Members
Omega members have been selected from among the highest-achieving fraternity and sorority students at various institutions since our organization’s founding in 1959. We have chartered over 580 chapters throughout North America, with almost 300,000 members initiated since 1959.
New Members
Undergraduate new members are chosen either annually or semi-annually by each chapter according to the provisions of the chapter’s bylaws. Aspiring members of Order of Omega must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors to be eligible for selection. Each Order of Omega chapter may only initiate up to 5% of the campus’s FSL community size or 20, whichever is greater.
Some chapters may elect to initiate honorary members. Honorary members are faculty and/or staff members at the respective institution who have been great supporters of the fraternity/sorority community in general. Honorary member candidates do not have to be a member of a fraternity or sorority.
