Scholarship
Keep learning and help others gain opportunity. Our book scholarship and VSU endowment put that commitment into practice.
Omicron Omega · Richmond, Virginia · Since 1984
Welcome to the
Omicron Omega family.
A place to reconnect. A tradition to share. A Brotherhood to carry forward.
We are the Richmond alumni chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated. Around our table are senior Brothers, new graduates, transfers, undergraduate Brothers, Sweethearts, family, and friends. There is room for your story here, too.
Iota Phi Theta’s Five Principles
The values we carry into everyday life.
Scholarship, Leadership, Citizenship, Fidelity, and Brotherhood guide how we learn, lead, serve, honor our commitments, and care for one another. For Omicron Omega, they connect the legacy we inherited with the choices we make today—and the example we leave for the next generation.
Leadership
Take responsibility and prepare others to lead. We share experience, mentor younger Brothers, and make room for new voices.
Citizenship
Be present for our neighbors. Service, civic engagement, and community partnerships turn concern into useful action.
Fidelity
Be faithful to our values and our word. We honor the trust placed in us by following through for our Brothers, families, and community.
Brotherhood
Build relationships that last through every stage of life. We welcome, encourage, and support one another across generations.
For community partners & supporters
Brotherhood and charitable service.
