Student Opportunities

The Order of Omega Greek Honor Society was founded in 1959 to honor leaders within the Greek community who excel in academics and leadership.

The Delta Upsilon chapter of Order of Omega was established at Ball State University in 1983.

The Delta Upsilon chapter of Order of Omega unites Ball State Greeks by holding representation from all three Greek councils. We use our common bond as Greek leaders to better our campus, our community and ourselves.

Purpose

• Recognize those students who have attained a high standard of leadership in inter-Greek activities, to encourage them to continue in this line, and to inspire others to strive for similar conspicuous attainment
• Bring together the most representative fraternity and sorority members, and to create an organization, which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate affairs
• Bring together members of the faculty, alumni, and student members of the institution's fraternities and sororities on a basis of mutual interest, understanding and helpfulness

All Greek men and women who serve as leaders either internally or externally are encouraged to apply for membership into the Delta Upsilon chapter of Order of Omega.

Qualifications for Membership

• Have completed one full academic year at Ball State
• Junior or Senior standing (60+ credits completed)
• Meet or exceed the Ball State all-Greek average GPA
• Be in good standing with your fraternal organization

The Order of Omega shall only initiate 3 percent of all eligible fraternity and sorority members each academic year.

Rho Lambda is the National Sorority Leadership Recognition Society.

Ball State University is proud to have hosted the Beta chapter since April 21, 1974 for the women who are members of our social sororities.

The Greek letters "Rho Lambda" stand for "Panhellenic Leadership." Although membership was originally intended for women whose organizations belonged to campus Panhellenics, any sorority woman is now eligible for membership as long as she meets the membership selection criteria.

The purpose of this organization is to honor those women within the sorority community who have exhibited the highest qualities of leadership and service to their Greek community and their sorority. They are women who have furthered the ideals and principles of the Greek community throughout their years of sorority affiliation.

Candidates for membership must be nominated by a sorority chapter president, advisor or current Rho Lambda member. Rho Lambda will then extend an invitation for membership to each nominee. 

Qualifications for Membership

• In the opinion of the membership of Rho Lambda, display outstanding leadership, ability, and loyalty throughout their years of sorority affiliation
• Be an active member in your junior or senior year of college. You must have been an active, initiated member of your sorority for at least two full semesters.
• Be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at Ball State University. (A transfer student is eligible after one full semester at Ball State University, providing you meet the other requirements.)
• Have an overall grade point average of at least 2.7.

Rho Lambda shall only initiate 10 percent of all eligible sorority members each academic year.
