Our Story

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically black college.

On the evening of November 17, 1911, Omega Psi Phi was founded inside the Science Building (later renamed Thirkield Hall) at Howard University located in Washington, D.C. The founders were three undergraduates β€”Β Edgar Amos Love,Β Oscar James CooperΒ andΒ Frank Coleman. Joining them was their faculty adviser,Β Ernest Everett Just.

From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning, β€œfriendship is essential to the soulβ€œ, the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. That phrase was selected as the motto.
