Get the fraterday mug.An African American fraternal organization founded on Friday, November 17, 1911, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. by three undergraduate students and their faculty advisor. The undergraduate founders of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. were Howard University juniors Bishop Edgar Amos Love, Dr. Oscar James Cooper and Professor Frank Coleman. The faculty advisor was Dr. Ernest Everett Just. The fraternity operated without official sanction until the university withdrew its opposition in 1914. Omega Psi Phi was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia on October 28, 1914. The fraternity is the first black national fraternal organization to be founded at a historically black college.
From its inception, the fraternity has worked to build a strong and effective force of men dedicated to its Cardinal Principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift, and capable of giving expression to the hopes and aspirations of an unfree people in the land of the free. In 1927, at the urging of fraternity member Bro. Carter G. Woodson, the fraternity made National Negro Achievement Week an annual observance and it continues today as Black History Month.
In 1930, Omega Psi Phi became one of the founding members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). Since 1945, the fraternity has undertaken a National Social Action Program to meet the needs of African Americans in the areas of health, housing, civil rights, and education. Omega Psi Phi has been a patron of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) since 1955 and provides an annual gift of $50,000 to the UNCF.

Get the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. mug.Related Words
This is a form of antisocial behavior and can be generally characterized as a lack of adherence to the social standards that allow members of a group to temporarily mingle close knit peaceably. Individuals with the habitual shadow farting disorders are responsible for about 75% of all the ventriloquized farts committed, though they make up only about five percent of the population. Most of those with the habitual shadow farter disorder are male. Of the females that account for a smaller portion, most are not stinky. This individual often is in a state of denial , cutting the cheese and repositioning his or her self away from the point of passing it, and often blaming another member of the group for his or hers transgressions.
