Omega symbol.
This one of the religious rituals to convert a new member.
Omega House is a cult disguised as a female sorority. The group only appears in the Season 6 episode "Fun with Jane and Jane". The cult brainwashes its members by depriving them of protein, bathroom breaks, contact with all friends and families, selling jams and jellies, and hazing. In the end, the members will want nothing to do with their old lives, embrace their new lives and new names which is always "Jane" (or have a surname, but always have "Jane" in it), and they only want one job: making and selling the cult's jams and jellies. Soon, the members are sent on a bus to work at the ranch where the cult produces their famous jam and jelly products. Dale Gribble once exterminated at the Omega House and the cult paid him in their jams and jellies. Due to this absurd payment in kind, along with Dale's predisposition to conspiracy theories, he researched the cult and found their background. This proved beneficial, as Peggy and Luanne were about to be sent away to the ranch until Hank, having learned of the Omega House's true nature from Dale, rescued them.

Trivia[]
The group may have partially been based on the Unification Church founded by Reverend Sun-Myung Moon, which was known for sessions in backcountry resorts where new recruits would be greeted by balloons and banners reading "Welcome Home Brothers & Sisters". The cult became known in slang as "Moonies", a slur on the name of its founder. Indoctrination into the cult was known for sessions of how all problems in one's "former life" were gone, which ranged for long hours of the day, and privacy was virtually nonexistent. In later years, the cult came under accusations of turning members away from their own parents and isolating them from society to which Rev. Moon tried to counter this by setting aside time for new recruits to keep in touch with the outside world by instruction of "write a letter to your friends or family at least once every ten days".
