  We evaluate the omega to rho pi transition and the omega to 3 pi decay using
a Quark Level Linear Sigma Model ($QL\sigma M$). We obtain $g^{QL\sigma
M}_{\omega\rho\pi}= (10.33 - 14.75) GeV^{-1}$ to be compared with other model
dependent estimates averaging to $g_{\omega\rho\pi} = 16 GeV^{-1}$. We show
that in the $QL\sigma M$ a contact term is generated for the $\omega \to 3 \pi$
decay. Although the contact contribution by itself is small, the interference
effects turn out to be important.
