Another busy year came to a close for Psi Omega at Ohio State, and 2010 ushered in some of the most active years of this chapter in recent memory. For the incoming class of 2014, 68 of the 106 students joined Psi Omega, a record since the class sizes at Ohio State fell to ~100 a year! We hosted a tailgate at every home football game, generously sponsored by local dental supply and service companies.

Big thanks to Zimmerman, Boltz, and Company, Benco, Henry Schein, Dentsply, Wetzel Insurance, and their representatives for making 2010′s football season such a success. On top of the sponsored tailgates, we hosted dinner and learns on every Wednesday night of the quarter. Many of the same companies came to the house and provided dinner and drinks while showing us the new and upcoming dental technologies that are catching on in the field outside of school. It is always a great opportunity to learn what is being applied in real-world, helping to supplement our studies and prepare us for when we graduate.
Our annual Thanksgiving dinner at the house was the largest ever, hosting more than 130 members and alumni. Both wings of the house were used to seat everyone, luckily we didn’t run out of food (or wine)! The distinguished guest table (house company and alumni) was the center of the party with over 20 in attendance.

The live-in members of Psi Omega threw an excellent party and occasionally found time to get a drink themselves and have some of the catered food, though the dishes did take several days!
After the short Thanksgiving break finals were quickly upon Psi Omega members. The house quieted down and got to work studying and anticipating a long and much deserved break from school. But before the break officially kicked off, Psi Omega threw it’s annual Tacky Christmas Sweater Party at a local bar. The first year class brought out some really tacky sweaters, some said they bought theirs months in advance. You can see some of the outfits in this post’s banner picture.

Everyone is started to file back into the house and are gearing up for another year of dental school. Coming up soon are several events, including Initiation for the 72 new members of Psi Omega, a continuing education event with Zimmerman, Boltz, and Company, and the quarterly party (no word on the theme yet from Alex Smith, he is still brainstorming).
Please keep in touch, the New Year’s resolution for the fraternity is to connect with more alumni, if that happens to be you, please email us at PsiOmegaOSU@gmail.com! Happy New Year!
