We have Psi Omega (Psi O) and Alpha Omega (AO) here at Nova Southeastern University. In my opinion the benefits of joining a professional dental fraternity are:
1) Interaction with upper classmen
2) Future networking
3) If you want to specialize (networking purposes)
4) Get involved in more organized clubs to get more out of your dental education (more you put in, the more you'll get out)
5) social functions
6) Upper classmen experiences/advice
7) Old exams/notes
8) inexpensive (unlike undergraduate fraternities)
I'm not sure which one I'll join yet, but I was gun-ho about Psi Omega because I've interacted with two different Psi O chapters at U of MN and Marquette U so I knew about Psi Os. AOs on my campus are extremely cool and they seem to be more academically orientated. I'm really torned at this time, but I look forward to joining one within the weeks to come.
