The Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health was founded in 1924 at Johns Hopkins University within the School of Hygiene and Public Health to promote the graduate study of public health, and to recognize outstanding achievement in the new field. It currently has approximately 20,000 members across 113 chapters at CEPH-accredited schools and programs.

Membership & Election Process
Members are inducted through a highly-selective process that assesses their outstanding performance and devotion to the field. To maintain the credibility of this prestigious society, chapters are limited in the number of members they may induct each year. There is a one-time induction fee of $50 to join Delta Omega and that covers the person’s lifetime membership in the society.
Election to the Delta Omega Delta Theta Chapter at UNLV is done every fall by the Nominating Committee, and the national guidelines for yearly inductions are as follows:
