In the Beginning | Episode 3 - Expansion

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 - Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman. Joining them was their faculty adviser, Ernest Everett Just.
From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning, "friendship is essential to the soul", the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. That phrase was selected as the motto.
Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as Cardinal Principles.

This presentation was originally aired July 22, 2022 as part of the 83rd Grand Conclave of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

Excellent production. I only wish we included Sister Lottie B. Wilson, the ONLY female member of our beloved Frat and a pivotal pillar in the expansion of Omega the great Beta Chapter @ Lincoln University...#omegasinfancy As a brother born and raised in Philly and retired at Nottingham, PA. I am thankful for this expansion piece. My mother was a caretaker and friend of Sister Lottie and a Librarian during the day and Gymnasium Supervisor at night at Lincoln . My younger brother is still on the faculty . RQQ Long live Omega and Long live Beta!!!!
