66TH ANNUAL ALPHA OMEGA
MARDI GRAS BALL
Alpha Omega Social Action & Scholarship Foundation
Saturday, February 7, 2026
With less than 40 days remaining until one of Alpha Omega Chapter’s most anticipated signature events, the countdown to the 66th Annual Alpha Omega Mardi Gras Ball is officially on. Set for Saturday, February 7, 2026, this year’s Mardi Gras is shaping up to be an extraordinary evening of celebration, elegance, and fellowship—and now is the time to act.
We strongly encourage all patrons to secure their tickets, book hotel accommodations, and place an ad in the official Mardi Gras Souvenir Journal immediately. Availability is becoming limited, and waiting may result in missed opportunities to attend, stay on-site, or gain visibility in a publication that commemorates this historic event while supporting the Alpha Omega Social Action & Scholarship Foundation.
Immediate action ensures the best options and allows our committee to finalize planning as we enter the final stretch. Please review the details below and take advantage of the remaining time to lock in your full Mardi Gras experience before it’s too late.
SOUVENIR JOURNAL

65th Annual Mardi Gras Ball Recap Video
The Mardi Gras Committee understands that while fundraising is an important function of the Mardi Gras Ball, it is not the event’s only purpose. Mardi Gras represents a long history of perseverance, progress, good times for Brothers and their families, and Friendships revisited. It is the Committee’s goal to preserve this legacy and continue in this tradition. At the end of the night, we want to reflectively and with great satisfaction say, “A good time was had by all!”
Yours in Friendship,
Nathan L. Hunter
