Omicron Epsilon Sigma
Omega Epsilon Sigma was originally founded as Omicron Epsilon Sigma on January 3, 1925, at Kansas State Teachers College (now Emporia State University). The 1925 edition of the Sunflower yearbook described the sorority's membership policy as "eligibility to membership in this organization is based upon affiliation with the Order of the Eastern Star."
On April 21, 1925 the sorority was recognized by the Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Kansas.
The yearbook also described the Masonic association. "Through the kindness of the Shriner of Emporia semi-monthly meetings are held in the Shrine room of the Masonic Temple. Although yet in its infancy Omicron has a large membership and is exerting a democratic influence on the campus."
According to the yearbook, Omicron's purpose "is to promote friendship among the girls of the school who are members of this fraternal order."
The colors were yellow and white; the flower was the snapdragon.
