Chapter and Membership Information
Membership is determined on the basis of talent, scholarship and character and is open to music students enrolled in schools where Delta Omicron chapters are located, to music faculty members in those schools, and to professional musicians. Over 28,000 members have been initiated.
Collegiate chapters are chartered in accredited institutions of higher learning and derive their names from the Greek alphabet in the regular sequence according to the date of installation. A member affiliated with a collegiate chapter (either undergraduate or graduate) must be a music major, music minor, or the equivalent of a music minor (as determined by individual chapters).
Alumni chapters derive their names by using the name of the nearest collegiate chapter prefixed by the letter Zeta. They are made up of area alumni members. Alumni chapters adopted Greek letter names beginning in 1944.
Delta Omicron was the first music fraternity to establish chapters abroad. International chapters of Delta Omicron are those that are established outside of the boundaries of the United States, the first of which was established in South Korea on June 7, 1958. Members of an international chapter may be made up of collegiate or alumni members. International collegiate chapters derive their names from the Greek alphabet, prefixed by the letter Kappa.
