AOIP had its conceptual roots established in Januaryof 1980, when a group of publishers associated with Black Media, Inc. (BMI) was made aware that approximately 44% of black Americans could neither read nor comprehend beyond the 4th grade. Omega Psi Phi and numerous other national organizations joined together to attack and ultimately reduce and eradicate illiteracy among Blacks through reading tutorial programs and other efforts.
College Endowment Fund
Each year the fraternity gives at least $50,000 to the United Negro College fund in furtherance of Omega’s perpetual effort to provide philanthropic support to historically black college.
CHARLES R. DREW BLOOD DRIVE
Each year, every chapter must hold an annual Blood Drive in June.
Father & Mentoring
Every level of the Fraternity, particularly at the chapter level, is asked to play an active role in support of the partnership by actively engaging in the promotion of the Fraternity’s Fatherhood Mentoring initiative.
STEM
The Fraternity’s STEM initiatives are designed to get students across the world excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
