Order of Omega is a leadership honor society for undergraduate members of fraternity and sorority organizations. The Order recognizes sophomores, juniors, and seniors who represent the top 5% of leadership in the fraternity/sorority community. These members have exemplified high standards in the areas of:
- Personal character
- Leadership
- Scholarship/academics
- Involvement within:
- their respective organization,
- the fraternity/sorority community,
- the campus, and
- the local community
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 the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas, with over 300,000 members initiated since 1959. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Rho Epsilon was established in 1998 and currently has 220+ members.
Members attend monthly meetings where they plan community service, philanthropic, and social events for their members and the entire community. Order of Omega members benefit from a sense of community, personal and social development, and opportunities for leadership. To learn more about the organization, you can visit the national website.
To join the Rho Epsilon chapter of Order of Omega at UNL, you must be of at least sophomore standing, have a cumulative grade point average above your respective council's GPA average of the previous semester, and complete the application by the designated date.
Membership selection occurs annually in the fall. Before a member can be initiated, they must pay the one-time initiation fee (approx. $88.00).
