On Aug. 3, the Order of Omega – the Greek Honor Society at Missouri Southern – presented a check for more than $1,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest Missouri. The five Greek chapters at MSSU – Sigma Pi, Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha Order, Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Sigma Alpha – raised the funds during the annual Penny Wars event during Greek Week.
The Order of Omega is a prestigious honor society that only admits the top 3 percent of members who excel academically and become leaders both on and off campus.
