• A. Alpha, Beta, and Delta
• B. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
• C. Alpha, Gamma, and Omega
• D. Beta, Gamma, and Delta

Answer: (B)

The original three chapters established by Omega Psi Phi were Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. These chapters were crucial in forming the foundation of the fraternity when it was founded at Howard University in 1911. The Alpha chapter served as the first chapter and the birthplace of the fraternity's principles and organization. The Beta chapter followed as the second chapter, further extending the fraternity's reach, and the Gamma chapter was established as the third, solidifying the organization’s presence and influence during its early years.

The establishment of these chapters was strategic in advancing the fraternity’s goals of promoting scholarship, service, and brotherhood, which remain central to Omega Psi Phi's mission today. Each chapter played an important role in the fraternity's growth and influence in the African American community and beyond.
