Omega Kappa Fraternity
The Omega Kappa Fraternity (ΩK) was founded in 1906 at Gustavus Adolphus College as the Olympian Council, a literary and debate society. In 1920, the Omega Kappas adopted their letters and began to function as a social Greek organization, although they continued to debate until the end of the Second World War, even traveling to Cambridge and Oxford Universities to compete. In 1956 on the OKs golden anniversary, the fraternity raised over $5,000 for Gustavus Adolphus College. The school used this money to install new carillons in Christ Chapel in the spring of 1962. Throughout the 1950s until the 1980s, the Omega Kappas were stereotyped as the 'jocks' on campus, oftentimes much of the fraternity consisted of rugby players. The Omega Kappas temporarily lost recognition by the college in 2006, but was regained recognition in the spring of 2012.

The Omega Kappas' values are Modesty, Diversity, and Brotherhood and its colors are purple and gold. The Omega Kappas sisters are Tau Mu Tau sorority, a local chapter at Gustavus which was founded in 1904. With the completion of 2012 fall rush, the Omega Kappas number forty-four men.
