Lambda Omega
Lambda Omega () was a national collegiate sorority operating in the United States from October 31, 1915 until 1933. History The Norroena Club was founded in 1915 on the campus of University of California, Berkeley. The sorority remained a local for seven years. The name meant "Breath of the North". The ritual combined a Native American legend with a Norse motif. The motif emphasized the hardihood, hospitality, economy, and friendship of the Norse (Miner, p. 180). In 1923, the name changed to Lambda Omega. Baird's 20th ed. notes that Lambda Omega's founding date was to coincide with this name change, and marked the decision to expand nationally. Expansion began immediately. By 1931, eight collegiate chapters had been chartered, with a total membership of 500. The sorority was granted associate membership in the National Panhellenic Conference (Martin, p. 70.)
