Membership selection is usually conducted each semester, but no more than 3% of the total number of enrolled full-time fraternity and sorority undergraduates may be initiated into membership in any one year. The Beta Iota Chapter was established at the University of Kentucky March 28, 1978.

“This year, Order of Omega has expanded as an organization on campus, and I am so excited we were able to initiate our largest initiation class to date and hold our first in-person initiation in over a year,” said Savannah Miller, chapter president.

This past semester, Order of Omega sponsored two blood drives on campus. The current officers also include Vice President Kelli Burnett and Director of Programming Ainsley Flask.

The Spring 2021 inductees are: 

College of Arts and Sciences: Lauren Baer, Madison Baker, Drew Beecham, Katherine Cermack, Tabitha Charter, Carmen Cox, Justin Denny, Adrian Dozal, Lindsay Hair, Alyssa Hargis, Spencer Hodson, Lindsay Holeman, Sophia Marcolla, Anne McAtee, Frances Miller, Flor Mucino, Emma Olmstead, Grace Salmon, Emily Schneck, Natasha Steele, Mia Stefanelli, Rachael Twehues and Rachel Von Ebers.

Order of Omega is supported on campus by the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office within the Dean of Students Office. For more information on membership, please contact FSL@uky.edu.

The University of Kentucky is increasingly the first choice for students, faculty and staff to pursue their passions and their professional goals. In the last two years, Forbes has named UK among the best employers for diversity, and INSIGHT into Diversity recognized us as a Diversity Champion four years running. UK is ranked among the top 30 campuses in the nation for LGBTQ* inclusion and safety. UK has been judged a “Great College to Work for" three years in a row, and UK is among only 22 universities in the country on Forbes' list of "America's Best Employers."  We are ranked among the top 10 percent of public institutions for research expenditures — a tangible symbol of our breadth and depth as a university focused on discovery that changes lives and communities. And our patients know and appreciate the fact that UK HealthCare has been named the state’s top hospital for five straight years. Accolades and honors are great. But they are more important for what they represent: the idea that creating a community of belonging and commitment to excellence is how we honor our mission to be not simply the University of Kentucky, but the University for Kentucky.
