Alpha Sigma Phi reserves Omega as the chapter designation for deceased brethren. When listing them, the chapter and year initiated is first and then the year the member entered Omega follows. For example: Louis Manigault (our principal founder) - Alpha 1845/Omega 1899.

Likewise, no Greek letter combination ending in Omega is used as well to name chapters.

My chapter was the 24th installed in Alpha Sigma Phi, however since Omega is not used we're the first double-letter chapter (Alpha Alpha).
