Founders Banquet
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. Their faculty adviser, Ernest Everett Just, joined them.
Since its humble beginnings, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity continues to be on the front line, leveraging its power, influence, and more than 100 years of commitment to uplifting our people and communities.
Each year, the Brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity honor the founding of their fraternity with an entire week of activities, aptly named Achievement Week. The culmination of this week is the Founder's Banquet, where they recognize and honor the exceptional men of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity at the local, district, and International levels.
You are welcome to help us celebrate over 100 years of community service by attending our 2024 Founders Day Banquet. Get your tickets here and join the celebration.
