Who we are
A professional home with more than a century of heritage
Alpha Omega was founded in Baltimore in 1907 by a group of dental students, originally to fight discrimination in dental schools. It has since grown into a worldwide fraternity with chapters in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Israel, South Africa and Australia.
The fraternity helped found the dental schools in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and has been active in Israel since 1954. Although we have a Judaic heritage, we welcome members of all faiths and backgrounds.
