 The purpose of this Brotherhood, a Service/Social fraternity dedicated to the needs and concerns of the community, is and shall be to promote and maintain the traditional values of Unity, Honesty, Integrity, and Leadership. This Brotherhood was founded in order to provide, to ANY man, a diverse fraternal experience which coincides with a higher education.

 Since founding in 1987, Omega Delta Phi has been an organization perpetually dedicated to the idea of constant growth and improvement. We strive to use a growing sense of optimism and newfound awareness that “good” will not be good enough. We must work to form an organization, which not only challenges the traditional perception of fraternities, but also the one, which deals with the issues of culture and race in a completely new perspective. Thinking out of the box is no longer an acceptable plateau; the box must now be removed completely.


 One Culture, any race. This is a completely new way of looking at ourselves and the world we live in. One culture, any race. A challenge to the closed minded to look beyond what they believe to be true and realize the truth is largely dependent on one’s perspective. One culture, any race. A philosophy that suggests the coexistence of various races can be a win-win situation if we are willing to learn from one another. One culture, any race – is a motto for a new millennium and a new fraternity.
