History

The founders of Omega Phi Chi were a group of eight women who felt the need to establish a multicultural organization on the campus of Rutgers University - New Brunswick that spoke to their needs across diverse backgrounds, distinct cultural roots, and the empowerment of the female culture. They came together to found a multicultural sorority; a different type of organization that would not be categorized by ethnicity, creed or culture. Since its inception, it has grown to include over 95 different nationalities and has started 21 chapters in New Jersey, New York, Florida, Arizona, Texas, Indiana, and California.
