Throughout the world, many notable members are recognized as leaders in the arts, academics, athletics, entertainment, business, civil rights, education, government, and science fields. A few notable members include Bill Cosby, Samuel M. Nabrit, Walter E. Massey, Benjamin Mays, Bayard Rustin, Langston Hughes, Count Basie, Roy Wilkins, Benjamin Hooks, Vernon Jordan, Dr. Robert Henry Lawrence, Jr., Malcolm Jenkins, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev.

Smith, and numerous presidents of colleges and universities. Over 250,000 men have been initiated into Omega Psi Phi throughout the United States, Bermuda, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, South Korea, Japan, Liberia, Germany, and Kuwait. On the 2013 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, six players and GM Ozzie Newsome are members. In 1924, at the urging of fraternity member Carter G. Woodson, the fraternity launched Negro History and Literature Week in an effort to publicize the growing body of scholarship on African - American history. Encouraged by public interest, the event was renamed `` Negro Achievement Week '' in 1925 and given an expanded national presence in 1926 by Woodson 's Association for the Study of Negro Life as `` Negro History Week. '' Expanded to the full month of February from 1976, this event continues today as Black History Month. 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, providing an annual gift of $350,000.00 to the program. Omega Psi Phi is a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council ( NPHC ), which is composed of nine predominately African - American Greek - letter sororities and fraternities that promote interaction through forums, meetings, and other media for the exchange of information, and engage in cooperative programming and initiatives throughout the world. The ( NPHC ) currently represents over 2.5 million members. Centennial Celebration Omega Psi Phi celebrated its centennial during the week of July 27 -- 31, 2011 in Washington D.C., becoming distinguished as only the third African - American collegiate fraternity to reach the century mark.

Finished unexpired term of Atkins List of Omega Psi Phi Grand Conclaves Main article : List of Omega Psi Phi Grand Conclaves Notable hazing incidents and controversies In 1977, Robert Brazile, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, collapsed and died at a fraternity house meeting due to injuries and beatings he sustained while pledging the fraternity. In 1978, Nathaniel Swimson, a student at North Carolina Central University, died during an off - campus initiation activity. He was asked to run several miles before he collapsed and died. In 1983, Vann Watts, a student at Tennessee State University, died of an alcohol overdose following an initiation party. It was reported that prior to his death, he was severely beaten and verbally abused by fraternity members. In 1984, a Hampton University student was killed participating in an Omega Psi Phi ritual. The family of the deceased student privately settled with the fraternity for an undisclosed amount as a result of his wrongful death. In 1986, Thomas Harold, a student at Lamar University, died as a result of running miles on Lamar 's track as part of a pledging task. In 1993, 24 Omegas were arrested for making pledges from University of Maryland at College Park eat vomit and dog biscuits, dropping hot wax on their necks, and beating them so badly that they needed medical attention. In 1997, the fraternity was court ordered to pay a former Indiana University pledge $774,500 for injuries he sustained while pledging in 1994. In 1999, Omega Psi Phi was court ordered to pay a former University of Louisville student nearly $1 million for suffering kidney failure due to hazing activity in 1997. In 2001, Joseph T. Green, a student at Tennessee State University, died as result of an asthma attack he developed from being asked to run long distances while pledging. In 2002, his family filed a $15 million wrongful death lawsuit against the men of Omega Psi Phi Incorporated. In 2009, a former pledge at the University of Houston ( UH ) settled with the fraternity for an undisclosed amount after being hit with a baseball bat, wood board, and TV antenna while pledging. The UH student wanted to join the fraternity because his father was a member. The chapter was placed on suspension following this incident. In 2014, the chapter at Valdosta State University was banned from campus until at least August 2022 due to severe hazing and violating the school 's code of conduct. In 2015, six Omega Psi Phi members at Johnson C. Smith University were arrested and charged with assault for severely beating pledges over a two - month span. In 2015, four Omega Psi Phi members at Saginaw Valley State University were arrested and charged for striking pledges with open hands and paddles. One known pledge sustained a serious injury after losing consciousness one night pledging. In 2015, a Florida Atlantic University student reported to the police she was gang - raped at an Omega Psi Phi `` Oil Spill '' step show afterparty. Inside the party, she stated she was suddenly and forcefully pulled behind curtains and raped by a group of men in a dark area. In 2016, the fraternity at Florida State University was suspended for severely abusing pledges and violating the university 's code of conduct. Criminal charges are pending for members of the fraternity. In April 2017, Omega Psi Phi member and alleged spree killer Steve Stephens referenced the fraternity multiple times in videos he posted during his killing spree. Stephens claimed that he was going to shoot `` Greeks '' in the head until he was caught. `` Unofficial '' practices Like many fraternal organizations, Omega Psi Phi has a rich tradition of practices. While some traditions are naturally secret, many are freely expressed in public. A popular one is referring to members as `` Que Dogs '' or `` Ques ''. Another is the practice of members voluntarily undergoing branding of the letters, or variations and designs based on them ( such as two linked Omega symbols ), on their skin. The brands often are displayed in public as a matter of pride ; some prospects first learn of the fraternity by seeing members bearing brands.
