Alpha Omega - The Oldest International Dental Organization!
Alpha Omega is the oldest international dental organization and was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1907 by a group of dental students originally to fight discrimination in dental schools. Today, with our headquarters relocated to Rockville, MD, it is primarily an educational and philanthropic organization. There are chapters and members in cities and dental schools in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Israel, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand. Alpha Omega represents about 6,000 active dentists and dental students worldwide.
Alpha Omega is responsible for the formation of both dental schools in Israel: The Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Dentistry and the Tel Aviv University Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine. The Alpha Omega Foundation was also responsible for dispersing almost $250,000 this past year for projects in Israel and worldwide.

AO Fraters Enjoy the Warm Weather and Camaraderie
Alpha Omega Fraters from around the world joined together in Ft. Lauderdale for education, fraternity business, camaraderie, entertainment and relaxation, as well as to honor their outstanding Fraters.
The weather was perfect, sunny and warm. You could find fellow Alpha Omegans and their families at the pool or at the beach, relaxing and soaking up the sun, playing games, reading or just splashing in the water.
