Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., founded on November 17, 1911, holds a unique place in history as the first international fraternal organization established on the campus of a historically black college, Howard University in Washington, D.C.

36th Twelfth District Representative

In 1911, the Founders of this beloved Fraternity had a vision of not only starting a Fraternity but of expanding it across this vast country, from a small Black college in Washington, DC, to the shores of California. In 1923, Lambda Chapter, affectionately referred to as “the pearl of the west coast”, was organized at the University of Southern California. Lambda is the only single-letter chapter on the west coast. In 1925, Epsilon Psi was chartered at the University of California at Berkeley.

In 1941, under the guidance of Grand Basileus Z. Alexander Looby, the 12th District was created, comprised of California and the rest of the Pacific Coast. The initial District Organizational Meeting was held in Oakland, CA with a gathering of forty (40) or so brothers.

The 12th District has seen many decades and has been there with the four Cardinal Principals of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. The 12th District has been a beacon of light and aspiration for not only African Americans but all people of color, with Omega Men leading the way on many levels.
