At present, the Order maintains over 575 chapters at colleges and universities in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]].
== Standards and operation ==
The executive board of the individual Order of Omega chapter is empowered to make decisions concerning the merit of an applicant and initiate them into the Order based upon the following criteria: character, scholarship, offices held in Greek organizations, service to the Fraternity/Sorority community, and service to the university community as a whole. It requires sophomore, junior, or senior classification standing, full-time attendance as a student, and a [[Grade Point Average|GPA]] that is at or above the All-Greek GPA at the campus in question. Order of Omega represents the top 5% within the Fraternity/Sorority community on each of its campuses.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://orderofomega.org/constitution-and-bylaws/|title=Constitution and Bylaws}}</ref>
Much of most chapters' typical operation consists of charitable fundraisers, and the selection of persons to receive scholarships endowed by alumni. Persons are only eligible to be initiated into the Order as regular members if they are undergraduates in accredited [[college]]s and [[University|universities]], but are considered members for life, and some continue to support their chapters financially. Faculty, staff, alumni, and others may be elected as ''honoris causa'' members.<ref name="history" />
Order of Omega began offering an undergraduate scholarship program in 1985, and has since awarded over $1.5 million in undergraduate scholarships (annually awards about $65,000). In addition, Order of Omega offers a Master's or Doctoral Fellowship award to postgraduate students in an accredited Master's or Doctoral program in Higher Education or Student Affairs personnel, or related fields.
