Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on March 15, 1989 at the State University of New York at Albany by seventeen dedicated women of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds who came together to fight the apathy toward women in our society. Rising in the face of adversity these women struggled to end the injustices suffered by our gender as well as the Latino community as an extension of that. Since our inception over fifteen years ago, we have embraced women of all cultural backgrounds, as is reflected by the Founders and members of our Radiant Sisterhood. As the women of the Black, Forest Green, and Gold, we pride ourselves on the array of racial, ethnic, social, economic and political diversity that we possess and therefore portray within our organization. Each member is a pillar that strengthens and perpetuates our drive to continue ?Serving and Educating through Our Diversity?.
