The chapter attempts to have involvement in all activities. We encourage all students to focus on their academics and to get involved in campus life.

Omega Psi Phi
On November 17, 1911, at Howard University, undergraduate students, with the assistance of their faculty adviser, gave birth to the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning "friendship is essential to the soul", the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. The phrase was selected as the motto. Manhood, scholarship, perseverance and uplife were adopted as cardinal principles.
Omega Psi Phi continues to flourish largely because of the Founders Love. The Founders selected and attracted men of similar ideals and characteristics. It is not by accident that many of America's great black men are/were Omega Men. To this date, there are very few Americans whose lives have not been touched by a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
Omega has a rich heritage to be protected, celebrated and enhanced.

Tau Kappa Epsilon
On the cold night of January 10, 1899, five students of Illinois Wesleyan University met to propound a new society on the campus. That night, the Knights of Classic Lore was formed...the society was later to be known as Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
What about being a part of the largest social network in the world. TKE is not only the oldest tradition for a Greek social fraternity on the UWA campus, but it is the largest social fraternity in the world, with over 250,000-fraternity members' worldwide.
But what is TKE? TKE is friendship. It is deep friendship and mutual understanding among a group of men who have similar ideas, hopes, and purposes. Such a bond of friendship and understanding furnishes the indispensable incentive, which helps the college man develop into a poised, self-confident adult.
TKE is the sum of its members. Each member has his own characteristics that make him special. TKE draws these individuals together into that bond of friendship and forges their many talents into one organization. The individuals are not changed, but the group is made stronger by their various contributions.
TKE may be for you. The University of West Alabama chapter (Iota Upsilon) welcomes you to "check us out." Any member will be glad to answer questions and you are extended an open invitation to visit our house near the Lake. TKE is Unique!
