Jewish Values & Advocacy
Alpha Omega is grounded in Jewish values and a deep commitment to community, responsibility, and service. We stand against antisemitism, support Jewish identity in the profession, and strengthen our collective voice.
Our History and Impact
Founded in 1907 by Jewish dental students who were excluded from traditional organizations, Alpha Omega was created to provide a community rooted in shared values, professional opportunity, and mutual support.
Over time, Alpha Omega evolved from a student fraternity into a global professional society, expanding its reach across North America, Europe, Israel, and beyond while remaining true to its founding purpose.
Today, AO continues to unite professionals and students through chapter life, education, leadership, philanthropy, and service. Guided by Jewish values, the organization remains committed to combating antisemitism, strengthening our collective voice, and supporting dental education in Israel.
Alpha Omega has played an important role in advancing dental education, philanthropy, and community impact, including historic support for dental schools in Israel and initiatives that expand access to care and improve lives.
