Nu Rho Chapter
ABOUT US
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., was founded on the campus of Howard University on November 17, 1911. The fraternity’s founders–three undergraduate students and their faculty advisor, derived the fraternity’s name from the initials of the greek phase meaning “friendship is essential to the soul.” That phrase was designated at the fraternity’s motto. As the same time, the founders adopted three cardinal principles that all fraternity members are expected to live by–Manhood, Scholarship Perseverance and Uplift.
