Today's Alpha Omega is organized into over 125 alumni and student chapters throughout North America, Europe, Israel, South Africa, Australia, and South America.
Alpha Omega's philanthropic arm, the Alpha Omega Foundation, has granted over 12 million dollars in aid to dental schools, clinics, local, national, and international projects relating to dental health; to scholarships, research grants, and to humanitarian causes.
