Fraternity portrait
Roar Omega Roar, often shortened as RΩR, is one of the six fraternities of Monsters University. It is the rival fraternity of OK (Oozma Kappa).
"The Roar Omega Roar (RΩR) fraternity is made up of the best of the best. They’re the nastiest, most skilled, scariest monsters at Monsters University, and come from families with a long, proud history of Scaring. While the RΩRs may be preppy in dress, they are ferocious in action and downright ruthless, if necessary. Self-declared as the most elite house on campus, the RΩRs are led by Johnny Worthington who presides over the house like an all-powerful monarch. Eager to continue their Scare Games winning streak, the RΩRs will do whatever it takes to stay on top."[1]
They invited Sulley to join them, but later kick him out for being removed from the scare program and replaced him with Randall. During the Scare Games, they and OK managed to survive all events until the OKs beat them in the final round, but it is soon discovered that it is because Sulley rigged the machine to ensure that his team would win. Randall was kicked out for his failure and the RΩRs try to invite Sulley back, but he refuses and hands them the trophy that the OKs won (possibly because he believes that they deserve it more since his team's victory did not count as a real win). It is implied that they soon found out about Sulley's cheating and changed their minds about letting him back in, and kept the trophy once they realized that they are the real winners of the Scare Games. Although this is never revealed.
The RΩRs (sans Randall) return in Party Central, where they still continue to antagonize the OKs, possibly either as revenge for them outscaring them at the Scare Games and becoming even more successful than them or in retaliation for Sulley's cheating.

Trivia[]
- Concept art shows that the RΩR fraternity was originally going to be called EEK, and had green as its distinctive color.[2] In the final film, ΣΣΚ is the name of a sorority, while green is the color of Oozma Kappa.
- Their abbreviation (RΩR) is a reference to the word "roar." Its name is parodied from "Rho Omega Rho".
- Not counting Randall Boggs, the current members Johnny, Chet and Reggie are the only ones in the film to have voices. However, only Johnny and Chet were able to speak.
- In the Scare Simulator portion of the Scare Games, Chet and Javier accumulated the same score: 15 out of 20, which gave them 5/25 red scream points of all content of container.
- Chet Alexander was originally going to be colored blue.
- Concept art of the RΩR fraternity house shows that it resembles a castle/chapel.
- Roar Omega Roar has the same colors as Gryffindor House from the Harry Potter series: red and gold.
- Despite having the colors of Gryffindor, Roar Omega Roar more resembles Slytherin. This can be seen in their confidence, their elitism, and their drive to do anything in order to win, such as when they humiliate the OKs during the party. And while OK has the Slytherin colors, they resemble Hufflepuff, whom the Slytherins hold in contempt.
- Randall noticeably does not return in Party Central, as the other RΩRs abandoned him following the "hearts" incident during the final round of the Scare Games, thus continuing to fuel his eventual heel turn in the original film.
