Countdown to Beta Phi's 100th 

Our Mission

It gives us great pleasure to offer greetings and a heartfelt welcome from Beta Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. located in Durham, North Carolina. Beta Phi Chapter has been instrumental in uplifting the Durham community since its charter in 1924. Beta Phi Chapter, known throughout the Sixth District, has a long, rich and storied history. More than a few of Durham's leaders in business, finance, politics, education, activism, religion, entrepreneurship, and youth programs have been members of our chapter, then and now. It is a tradition of which we are justifiably proud.
