The Order of Omega is an undergraduate Greek society recognizing "fraternity men and women who have attained a high standard of leadership in inter-fraternity activities."

It functions as an adjunct to traditional fraternal organizations rather than a social or professional group in se.

It is not an academic honor society; a minimum grade point average is only one of six criteria for admission.

At that time, the group adopted as its mark the Greek letter omega in gold on an ivory field.

[3] In more recent years, the order has emerged as a moot arena in which the fraternity and sorority community can air progressive changes to its member organizations as a whole; the 'dry' movement eschewing alcohol use among many groups drew a great deal of support from discussion in the early 1980s about how to improve the general reputation of the Fraternity/Sorority community.
