Omega Psi Phi group

Omega Psi Phi

Omega Psi Phi

Psalms 37:23 states “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way.” Omega can be your chosen way of life if you choose – if you desire to be a cut above the rest!

The fraternity’s founders were men whose steps were ordered by the Lord because “Omega” is the conclusion or culmination of a successful journey that many men chose as a way of life.

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity is a professional organization of educated men with similar ideas and like attainments. The fraternity’s founders chose Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift as the cardinal principles that every prospective candidate must possess. Our fraternity’s motto is “Friendship Is Essential To The Soul” Since the birth of the organization, Omega has and will continue to impact the world in every profession and all walks of life.

Phi Beta Sigma

Phi Beta Sigma

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The founders wanted to organize a Greek-Letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service. The Fraternity’s motto is “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity”. The founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as “a part of” the general community rather than “apart from” the general community. They believed that each potential member should be judged by his own merits rather than his family background or affluence…without regard of race, nationality, skin tone or texture of hair. They wished and wanted their fraternity to exist as part of even a greater brotherhood which would be devoted to the “inclusive we” rather than the “exclusive we.”

  • Colors: Royal Blue and Pure White
