A National Executive Committee administers Delta Omega while each chapter conducts the principal Delta Omega activities. For information about Delta Omega, please visit https://deltaomega.org/.
The chapters elect new members each year from three categories:
- Students who are candidates for a degree in public health,
- Faculty members at the school of public health, and
- Alumni actively engaged in public health work
Elections are based on outstanding performance in: scholarship and leadership in students, teaching and research in faculty members, and community service in alumni. Membership in Delta Omega reflects the dedication of an individual to quality in the field of public health and to protection and advancement of the health of all people. Inductions take place each year during National Public Health Week. Nominations to Delta Omega are faculty-driven.
