Established in 1963, the Georgia State Organization was formally incorporated in 1980. With its focus to galvanize the nearly fifty graduate and undergraduate chapters to the work of Omega, the organization has grown both numerically and fiscally. The more than 1000 financially active Brothers has long since established itself as the largest and most productive state organization within the 7th District (which includes Alabama, Florida and Mississippi). As a result, the work of this faithful and focused state organization has afforded it the unique opportunity to be the premier and driving force behind the district’s previous ongoing and continued success.
