Order of Omega

Order of Omega is the Greek honor society which initiates the top 3% of Greek juniors and seniors each year.  The National Order of Omega was founded at the University of Miami on April 14, 1959.

The Delta Iota Chapter at Drake University was chartered on March 15, 1982, however this honor society had its beginnings in a group called Gamma Gamma organized at Drake in the fall of 1964.  Gamma Gamma was founded at Iowa State University in 1960 and Drake was the second campus to start a chapter.  Between 1964-1981, there were 329 individuals initiated into Drake's Gamma Gamma chapter.  When Gamma Gamma was unable to become a national honor society, Iowa State opted to affiliate with Order of Omega and Drake voted to follow their lead on February 5, 1982.  The group became dormant in the late 90's and Delta Iota of Order of Omega was reactivated on May 4, 2004.

Chapter activities this year included a book drive and work day for Habitat for Humanity. Past President Taylor Corley and Kate Crouse were also awarded scholarships by the National Order of Omega.

1.  have a 3.2 cumulative GPA or higher
2.  have junior or senior standing
3.  be an active member of their sorority or fraternity
4.  be in good financial standing with their chapter
