The Order of Omega is a national honor society which recognizes students' academics and contributions to the Greek letter community. Criteria for membership at Dartmouth are a minimum 3.50 grade point average and demonstrated leadership involvement in the Greek letter community. Membership consists of juniors and seniors who have been selected by the Omega members from the senior class. The order of Omega membership can represent no more than 3 percent of the total Greek letter population.

Each year the Office of Residential Life formally recognizes organizations that have a high percentage of scholars, i.e. Rufus Choates, Phi Beta Kappas, etc. Many organizations have faculty advisors and implement various programs designed to assist members in their academic pursuits. These efforts reinforce the belief that academic achievement is an integral part of the Dartmouth Greek letter experience.
Participation in community service projects provides meaningful learning experiences. The Greek letter community as a whole, or as individual organizations, donate time and effort to a variety of causes. The 15 Webster Avenue Award, an annual $2000 grant established in 1993 by the alumni/ae corporations that resided in 15 Webster Avenue (Tau Epsilon Phi, the Harold Parmington Foundation, and Delta Psi Delta), is given to a Greek letter organization for a community service project. Greek letter organizations work with the Dartmouth College Tucker Foundation to find projects to help others and are involved in many activities in Upper Valley communities. Recent winners can be found in the Greek Letter Organizations Year in Review.
