Graduate chapters

Summarize
Perspective

The first graduate chapter of Omega Psi Phi was chartered in Norfolk, Virginia, on June 1, 1920.[42] In 1922, Omega Psi Phi began using the suffix "Omega" to designate graduate chapters.[43] In 1923, the fraternity decided that all of its graduate chapters would have names ending in Omega.[42][8] As a result, the existing graduate chapters with single-letter names were renamed.[42]

The following list of graduate chapters is ordered by charter date, with active chapters indicated in bold and inactive chapters in italics.[4]
