Omicron Chapter

Omega Tau Sigma is a professional veterinary fraternity with chapters at twelve veterinary schools throughout the country. The Omicron Chapter at Michigan State University was chartered on January 5th, 1991 by members from the veterinary classes of 1991-1995.

The Omicron Chapter currently has 61 active members. Our Grand Council recognitions include the T. C. Fitzgerald Memorial Progress Award - Most Improved Chapter (2008, 2013), Attendance Award (2014, 2016, 2017), and Winners of Gonzo Olympics (2014, 2015). We currently have 7 OTS Alumni on staff at the College of Veterinary Medicine at MSU.
