OMEGA DENTAL FRATERNITY was first 9X organized in the early history of the Baltimore .1 2; College Of Dental Surgery, merely as a college Ebf r society, with a secret ritual, where a few men W found pleasure enough in each otherys society as to devise a plan by which they could cement their friendship into bonds of fraternal love and brotherhood.

It is true that Psi Omega's growth during the hrst three years Of existence was slow t1892-1895l, numbering three chapters, with a roll of two hundred men.
