Leadership

The Greek community at Michigan State offers endless opportunities for developing leadership skills in its members. Each chapter is self-governed and relies on the individual talents and leadership skills of its members to run effectively. The Greek community provides students the opportunity to transform into well rounded graduates through opportunities to get involved at the chapter, council, or community level. These leadership roles often provide a place where students can gain valuable experience managing events, balancing budgets, leading other people, serving as a liaison to external constituents, or even representing the entire Greek community with an audience of prospective or incoming students to the university.

Order of Omega

The National Order of Omega is a Leadership Honor Society only for individuals who are members of a fraternal organization. Membership in the gamma Omicron chapter is reserved for the top three percent of Greek leaders at Michigan State University and this semester, the Gamma Omicron chapter will initiate its first new member class in more than five year with the intention of restoring and rebuilding an active chapter at Michigan State University.

The order of Omega has the following purpose:

• First, to recognize students who have attained a high standard of leadership in inter-organizational activities, to encourage further interactions along these lines, and to inspire others to strive for similar attainment;

• Second, to assemble a membership base that is representative of the fraternity and sorority community at MSU, and to create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate fraternal affairs; and

• Third, to bring together members of the faculty, alumni, and student populations of the institution’s fraternal organizations on a basis of mutual interest, understanding and cooperation.

The benefits of membership in the Order of Omega are endless. The Gamma Omicron chapter will seek to provide members of our communities with opportunities for leadership, networking, and community service, along with life long membership in the National Order of Omega.
