OMEGA PSI PHI - THE ONLY QUES

So I was on twitter and seen that someone put a shout out on there about a service fraternity called Alpha Phi Omega, the thing is they referred to them as "AphiQ". This is a problem, The Greek letter Omega would actually be an English "W", the Men of Omega Psi Phi are known as "The Que Dogs", therefore we are the "Ques". It has a deeper meaning than just saying "Que". We wear gold boots for a reason, not just because it's cute. You'll find other organizations trying to emulate the Ques/ Da Bruhs/ Da Bruhz/ The Bruhs/ Omegas by wearing spray painted boots, wearing fatigues, licking their tongue out and trying to hop march and bark. My point of this whole blog is to let the brothers of Omega Psi Phi know that imitation is the highest form of flattery, and we shouldn't be as offended (especially as a neophyte with full enthusiasm) when people from other orgs try and emulate us. After all our not for really sister organization of Delta Sigma Theta, shoots the hooks hops marches and barks.....which leads me to my next blog.

CYRAH'S DIVINE 9 LIST - NPHC

History

The National Pan-Hellenic Council was established in an age when racial segregation and disenfranchisement plagued African Americans, the rise of each of the black fraternities and sororities that make up the NPHC bore witness to the fact that despite hardships African Americans refused to accede to a status of inferiority.

The organization's stated purpose and mission in 1930:

Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.

The chair of the committee for the National Pan-Hellenic Council was the 13th Grand Basileus of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Matthew W. Bullock. The founding members of the NPHC were Omega Psi Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta. The council's membership expanded as Alpha Phi Alpha (1931), Phi Beta Sigma (1931), Sigma Gamma Rho (1937), and Iota Phi Theta (1997) joined this coalition of Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs). In his book on BGLOs, Lawrence Ross coined the phrase "The Divine Nine" when referring to the coalition.

In 1992, the first permanent national office for NPHC was established in Bloomington, Indiana on the campus of Indiana University through the joint cooperation of Indiana University and the National Board of Directors of NPHC.
