Omega Psi Phi fraternity, was the first national African-American fraternity to be founded at a historically black college when it was established on November 17, 1911, at Howard University. Howard University did not initially recognize the fraternity as a national organization and Omega Psi Phi’s leadership refused to only accept local recognition for the organization. So, the fraternity operated without official sanction, until the university withdrew its opposition in 1914, the same year that the Beta chapter was founded at Lincoln University. Omega Psi Phi was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia in October 1914. By 1920, the fraternity had 10 chapters. Omega Psi Phi will celebrate its centennial in November 2011 in Washington D.C. Here are some of there Famous member.
