MANDATED PROGRAMS
Omega is committed to uplifting our communities throughout the world. We have charged our brothers to conduct the following programs on an annual basis throughout the year.
- ACHIEVEMENT WEEK - is observed each November and is designed to recognize those individuals at the local and international levels who have contributed to community uplift. A High School Essay Contest is to be held in conjunction with Achievement Week.
- SCHOLARSHIP - promotes academic excellence among the undergraduate members. Graduate chapters provide financial assistance to student members and non-members.
