Celebrating 118 Years of the Alpha Omega Legacy.
The story of Alpha Omega International Dental Society began in the early 1900s, when Jewish dental students were barred from forming social groups. Unbeknownst to each other, students at two dental schools independently established their own organizations to combat discrimination and advocate for equal access to dental education. A year later, the groups discovered one another and merged to form the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity. Today, Alpha Omega has evolved into a global organization that fights antisemitism, supports dental schools and centers in Israel, and fosters a community that helps dental students and professionals excel in their profession.
