Order of Omega

Order of Omega is a leadership honor society for members of Greek organizations.

The Utah State University chapter of Order of Omega, Delta Phi, initiated 15 new members Monday.

In order to be eligible for Order of Omega, one must be a junior or senior, have at least a 3.0 grade point average and be in good standing with a Greek organization on campus.

According to the Order of Omega website, members are selected from the top three percent of students at each institution. To date, over 500 chapters have been chartered throughout North America, each sharing the common goal of recognizing the many outstanding leaders of the Greek community.

“We have 35 active members right now,” Taylor Jarvis said. Jarvis has been a member of Order of Omega since fall 2010.

Being a member of Order of Omega helps students with their academic and future careers.

“It helps for my future because even with a small alumni base, we have the networking for careers. Order of Omega means you know what you're doing, know what it takes to succeed and have the drive to do so. The alumni will see that,” Jarvis said.

“I’m really excited to be a member of Order of Omega,” Chelsea Dean said. “It makes me feel more secure in my future because it provides more networking.” Dean was initiated into Order of Omega on Monday.

The majority of Order of Omega member are involved elsewhere on campus.

Joe Watson, a senior at USU is a science senator, Dean works in the USU Student Involvement Office and Jarvis is the Vice President of the Residence Hall Association.
