[edit] History

Omega Sigma Tau's origins can be traced back to the 1920s with the Nissei Bruins Men's Club. Though not officially a fraternity, the Nissei Bruins Men's Club interacted closely with other sororities. Members of this club finally received a charter in 1966.

Omega Sigma Tau was founded in 1966 at UCLA by Ron Watanabe, Bob Tsutsui, and Dennis Onoda of the Nissei Bruins Men's Club. The initial charter group that they formed with other members of the Nissei Bruins Men's Club consisted of about twenty men.

Since its founding in 1966, Omegas has grown to become one of the largest and most active fraternities in the nation. Although the size of the fraternity does fluctuate, Omega Sigma Tau maintains an average of 65 members per year, and has seen days when there were over 80 members during a school year.

Omega Sigma Tau is the oldest and largest Asian-american fraternity at UCLA.
