Description
Omega Tau Sigma is a professional fraternity for veterinary students. Our organization gets its strength and supports its members by fostering clinical skills and professional development, facilitating service to the community, and promoting mental/emotional health and well-being. And throughout, we encourage camaraderie.
OTS provides opportunities that allow for personal development through service and participation in the community. Some of our service events include: delivering for Meals on Wheels, participating in Relay for Life, hosting blood drives and bone marrow registry events, sponsoring a boy and a girl at Christmas through the Holiday Giving Tree, volunteering for Food at First, hosting an Easter Egg Hunt for the children of Vet Med students and faculty, and many more. Socially, OTS is best known for throwing the Halloween party for the vet students.
Aside from OTS activities, we hold chapter meetings on a monthly basis. All members have the opportunity to attend Grand Council, our national meeting, which is hosted by a different OTS chapter each year.
