(Updated) Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Centennial Gala Tonight

Southwest Atlanta Omegas are joining their fraternity brothers around the world this week in celebrating the founding of the organization on Nov. 17, 1911, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C.

At Murrell's restaurant and banquet hall on Martin Luther King Thursday, members of the Atlanta Metro Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, Inc., celebrated the occasion with a luncheon and fraternal fellowship.

The chapter will cap off a week of celebrating this Saturday with a Centennial Gala featuring Morris Day and The Time at the Hyatt Regency on Peachtree.

The Omegas—also known as "Ques"— were the first African-American fraternity established on a black college campus. Famous Omegas include Langston Hughes, Count Basie, Bill Cosby, Carl Rowan, Tom Joyner and Steve Harvey.
