Chapter said “one of the Chapter’s significant
accomplishments has been its Beta Alpha Alpha
Foundation, Inc., which raises funds for
scholarships and annually awards $10,000 in
scholarships to deserving young students in
Westchester County to attend colleges and
universities throughout the United States.”
Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity, Inc. was founded on November 17,
1911, at Howard University, Washington, D.C.
