Honor Societies
Order of Omega Greek Honor Society
The Order of Omega was founded at the University of Miami in the fall of 1959 by a group of students who felt that individuals in the Greek community should be recognized for their service to the fraternity system and the University. The Purpose of the Order of Omega is:
- To recognize those fraternity men and women who have attained a high standard of leadership in interfraternity activities, to encourage them to continue along this line, and to inspire others to strive for similar conspicuous attainment;
- To bring together outstanding fraternity men and women to create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate fraternity affairs;
- To bring together members of the faculty, alumni, and student members of the institution's fraternities and sororities on a basis of mutual interest, understanding and helpfulness;
- To help create an atmosphere where ideas and issues can be discussed openly across Greek lies and to help work out solutions.
