History

The Order of Omega is a national Greek Leadership Honor Society. The Order was founded at the University of Miami in the fall of 1959 by a group of outstanding fraternity men, who felt that individuals in the Greek community should be recognized for their service to the fraternity system and the university.

The Miami chapter had long desired for their organization to expand to other colleges and universities. The chapter gave its sanction to Dean Patrick W. Halloran to make initial inquiries and to further grant charters to universities that were accredited and interested in the purpose of The Order of Omega. The organization became co-ed in 1977 and now has over four hundred chapters in the United States.

The Omega Eta Chapter of The Order of Omega was chartered at Georgia Southern University in 1968. Membership is open to qualified junior and senior undergraduate Greek-affiliated students by application each spring semester.
