This event explores the cultural contributions of Black Greek Organizations to Duke
University, examining the impact of Black Greek Letter Organizations on the university’s history – particularly the history of student affairs and campus culture. Black Greek Letter Organizations at Duke – Omegas, AKAs, Alphas, Kappas, Deltas, Sigmas and Zetas – play a vital role expressing black culture, providing connectedness to African American heritage, and uplifting the Black community’s commitment to equal justice. We hope to explore how these student institutions continue to contribute to the success of Black students and the overall edification of the Duke community.
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is the first international fraternal organization to be founded on the campus of a historically black college on November 17, 1911, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. The Omega Zeta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi was chartered on the campus of Duke University on April 12, 1974, with 13 Charter line members from all over the country, led by their graduate advisor, Richard A. Fields, Duke Medical School ’75.
