In which year was the Omega Psi Phi fraternity founded?

• A. 1906
• B. 1911
• C. 1920
• D. 1930

Answer: (A)

The Omega Psi Phi fraternity was founded in the year 1911 at Howard University in Washington, D.C. This makes the choice indicating 1906 incorrect. The fraternity was established by three undergraduate students: Edgar Amos Coleman, Bishop Edgar A. Love, and Dr. Oscar James Cooper, along with a faculty advisor, Dr. A. Langston Taylor. Omega Psi Phi holds the distinction of being the first predominantly African American fraternity to be founded at a historically Black college. This context emphasizes the importance of 1911 as a significant date in the history of Black Greek organizations, marking the beginning of an influential and enduring brotherhood that has a legacy of community service and social advocacy.
