Frequently Asked Questions

What does Omega Delta Phi stand for?

The purpose of this Brotherhood, a Service/Social fraternity dedicated to the needs and concerns of the community, is and shall be to promote and maintain the traditional values of Unity, Honesty, Integrity, and Leadership. This Brotherhood was founded in order to provide, to ANY man, a diverse fraternal experience which coincides with a higher education.

How will my student benefit from joining a fraternity or sorority?

Omega Delta Phi provides students with various opportunities to be involved in their chapter, council, Greek Community, and university. Some of our top leadership positions on and off campus are held by members of Omega Delta Phi. The Greek Community also helps its members fine-tune their leadership skills by providing leadership retreats and workshop series. Apart from the university and the councils providing leadership opportunities to the membership, the organizations’ national board also provides internships, scholarships, and leadership experiences.

Most importantly, the bonds that will form and memories that will be created is what usually separate Omega Delta Phi from other college organizations.

    Will my student's grades suffer if they join Omega Delta Phi?

    It all depends on your student’s priorities and time management skills. Like any other student organization on campus, fraternity and sorority members may have obligations to the organization (fundraising events, community service/philanthropy, chapter and committee meetings). Let us not forget the social nature of fraternities and sororities and college life in general. As long as your student dedicates time to study, attends class regularly, and uses university academic resources, his/her academics should not be compromised. Additionally, Omega Delta Phi has academic programs and enforced study hours for new members and members who may be struggling academically.

      Does being a Brother take a lot of time?

      Participating in any worthwhile activity always requires an investment of one’s time. Research has shown that college students who are active in extracurricular activities are more likely to graduate and report greater satisfaction with their college experience. Through his fraternity involvement, your son should be able to learn how to balance his academic, work, campus involvement and social commitments.

      What are the requirements to join?

      To become a member of Omega Delta Phi, your son must:

      • Be a full time male student in good academic standing with the university
      • Posses a minimum 2.5 collegiate GPA
      • Not have previously completed pledging for any other fraternity
      • Have been given a formal bid
      • Participate in the fraternity’s intake process.

      Non-Discrimination Policy

      As Omega Delta Phi Fraternity grows, so does our vision leading us towards the future of our Brotherhood. Omega Delta Phi Fraternity membership will not be restricted on the basis of age, ability, ethnicity, race, creed, religion, or assigned sex at birth.

      As a national organization, ODPhi embraces the diverse and inclusive atmosphere we provide for our Brothers as we continue towards our goal of graduating and providing service to our community.

      Does Omega Delta Phi haze?

      Omega Delta Phi will not tolerate, condone or encourage hazing by any chapter colony, club, student, or alumnus. Such activities are not compatible with the principles and traditions of the Fraternity and reflect negatively on the organization. Omega Delta Phi chapters/colonies are required to follow a Prospective Member program reflecting the true meaning and high standards of the brotherhood and in no way embarrasses, demeans, or endangers the individual Prospective Member.

      Omega Delta Phi firmly believes in the importance of Prospective Members and Prospective Member education, with the absence of hazing. The Prospective Member process serves the purpose of molding good brothers; not good Prospective Members. Therefore, the purpose of the Prospective Member program must be to teach our principles, values and rituals.

      Who can I contact if I have more questions?

      If you have any questions about your son’s involvement with Omega Delta Phi, please do not hesitate to reach out to us or by finding a specific national or regional leader.

      Data Isn’t Wrong!

      Research shows the stress of first-year students stems from a sense of loneliness. Fraternities provide first-year students with a sense of community. They provide connection and friendship when students are often far from home and familiarity. Furthermore, fraternities offer a strong support system that can offer help and guidance when under stress, and studies show how students who join fraternities in their first semester show greater gains in growth, learning and development

      Fraternity members report higher levels of positive mental health, and less depression or anxiety than unaffiliated members.1
      83% of members indicate stronger leadership confidence as a result of their fraternity membership.2
      Fraternity members spend significantly more time volunteering, mentoring and doing other types of service work, and they feel like they belong in their communities.4
      Fraternities provide an environment where members can have tough conversations, especially about personal issues like relationships, family and mental health struggles.2
      Fraternity alumni find jobs more quickly after graduation and are more engaged in the workplace.3
      Fraternity members have stronger interaction with faculty than their peers, with higher rates feeling like their professors cared about them as a person or made them excited about learning.
