The Delta Omicron Foundation, Inc. was founded on June 17, 1958[6][9][8] and is chartered in Ohio as a nonprofit organization.[9] The Foundation administers the philanthropies of Delta Omicron as a separate corporation. It supports and promotes music and musicians through educational grants and scholarships for music study, the commission of composers, awards for musical accomplishments, subsidies for publications and programs promoting music, and national and international music endeavors.[9] Additionally, it endows chairs at the Metropolitan Opera House, Lincoln Center, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.[9] It also supplements Delta Omicron's endowment fund, which was established in 1927.[9] Chapter and Membership Information Membership is determined on the basis of talent, scholarship and character and is open to music students enrolled in schools where Delta Omicron chapters are located, to music faculty members in those schools, and to professional musicians.[3] Over 28,000 members have been initiated.[10] Collegiate chapters are chartered in accredited institutions of higher learning and derive their names from the Greek alphabet in the regular sequence according to the date of installation.[3] A member affiliated with a collegiate chapter (either undergraduate or graduate) must be a music major, music minor, or the equivalent of a music minor (as determined by individual chapters). Alumni chapters derive their names by using the name of the nearest collegiate chapter prefixed by the letter Zeta. They are made up of area alumni members.[3] Alumni chapters adopted Greek letter names beginning in 1944.[8] Delta Omicron was the first music fraternity to establish chapters abroad.[6] International chapters of Delta Omicron are those that are established outside of the boundaries of the United States, the first of which was established in South Korea[1] on June 7, 1958.[8][6] Members of an international chapter may be made up of collegiate or alumni members. International collegiate chapters derive their names from the Greek alphabet, prefixed by the letter Kappa.[3] Chapters Main article: List of chapters of Delta Omicron Publications The Wheel: Educational Journal of Delta Omicron is the official publication of the fraternity. The journal began publication with volume 1 in 1915.[4] The editor seeks articles on information related to the fraternity, its members and patrons, collegiate and alumni chapters, special events, awards, and music-related articles of interests to musicians. It is distributed to all current members of the fraternity.[3] The Whistle of Delta Omicron International Music Fraternity—Alumni Newsletter is the official publication of the fraternity for alumni-at-large. The international newsletter began publication with volume 1 in 1952 and is geared to the interests of alumni-at-large members. It was originally distributed to all alumni members of the fraternity annually.[3] Since January 2004, however, it has been published online on the Delta Omicron website.[4] The Epoillac contains the proceedings of the fraternity's Triennial Conference, including a summary and the minutes of the Conference as well as business reports of officers and committees. It is only sent to chapter and official personnel.[3] National Patrons & Patronesses Main article: List of Delta Omicron Patrons & Patronesses The title of "Patron" or "Patroness" may be conferred upon a musician who has attained a national reputation in his or her field.
