Our Chapter
Omicron Alpha Omega in Holly Springs
Chartered on December 11, 1983 in Holly Springs, Marshall County, Mississippi, Omicron Alpha Omega was brought into being by nineteen charter members and four visionary leaders, with the sponsorship of the Theta Upsilon Chapter at Rust College.
We meet at the David L. Beckley Conference Center in Holly Springs and serve Marshall County and the surrounding communities through the Sorority’s program targets — from CHIPP® bag packing and the Youth Leadership Institute to human trafficking awareness and our annual day of service.
