Achievement Week began as an effort to advance the study of Black life and history. It is now celebrated every November, highlighting and honoring individuals, both locally and internationally who have made significant contributions to improving the lives of Black Americans. In conjunction with the observance, a High School Essay Contest invites college-bound seniors to submit essays on a theme selected by the fraternity. Winners receive college scholarships. This contest is an official component of the International Achievement Week program.

Annually, the fraternity contributes a minimum of $50,000 to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), underscoring Omega’s steadfast dedication to philanthropic support. Chapter contributions are proportionally assessed based on their membership size, ensuring a fair and impactful distribution aligned with each chapter’s capacity.

March 12th of each year is solemnly observed as Memorial Day within our chapter. On this date, all chapters are called upon to organize and conduct a dignified memorial service dedicated to honoring the cherished memories of our members who have transitioned into Omega Chapter. This service serves as a solemn reflection on their contributions and enduring legacy, reinforcing the bonds of brotherhood and the values we uphold. Chapters are encouraged to approach this occasion with the utmost respect and reverence, ensuring that the memory of our departed brothers is preserved with grace and honor.

Each district and chapter of the fraternity is mandated to uphold a Life Membership at Large with the NAACP. Should a chapter or district not hold a life membership, it is required to maintain an annual membership to retain good standing within the fraternity. Additionally, all fraternity members are strongly encouraged to actively join the NAACP, reinforcing our collective commitment to its mission and values.
