Honor Societies
The University of North Alabama has two active honor societies for fraternity and sorority members (Rho Lambda and Order of Omega). Information on the honor societies can be found below.
Order of Omega is a leadership honor society for fraternity and sorority members. The Eta Omega chapter of Order of Omega was chartered at UNA on April 22, 1987.
Order of Omega membership is limited; we are only able to initiate 5% of the total number of fraternity and sorority members at the beginning of the fall semester. However, we typically split this number and hold initiations twice a year- once in the spring and once in the fall. Those meeting the minimum standards, a junior or senior with a cumulative GPA above the all Greek average, receive an invitation to apply. Applications are scored based on fraternity and sorority involvement, community service, GPA, and campus involvement.
Order of Omega nationally offers undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships to members. To learn more about the national scholarship program for OOO members, please visit http://orderofomega.org/scholarshipfellowship/

Rho Lambda is a national sorority leadership recognition society. UNA previously had an active Rho Lambda in the early 2000s, that then went inactive for some time. The organization became active again at UNA in Fall 2019.
Rho Lambda is open to sorority women who are juniors or seniors and have a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Rho Lambda membership is limited; we are only able to initiate 10% of the total number of sorority members at the beginning of the fall semester. However, we will split this number and hold initiations twice a year - once in the spring and once in the fall.
