Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. was founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C., becoming the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically Black college or university (HBCU). The founders—Dr. Ernest E. Just, Professor Frank Coleman, Dr. Oscar J. Cooper, and Edgar A. Love—established the fraternity on the cardinal principles of manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift.
Omega Psi Phi has since grown into one of the most influential Black Greek-letter organizations, with a strong legacy of service, leadership, and cultural pride throughout the African American community.
