Gamma Eta

The Gamma Eta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville had its inception as a club.  Approximately 15 young men in the 1973-74 school year formed a club called the Brotherhood.  The group was formed from friendships established in the 1972-73 school year of a group of young men who later decided to come together in friendship and formed intramural teams and sponsored dances.

The group decided to more formally organize and had a meeting to discuss which fraternity they wanted to bring to campus.  After discussions were held, the majority discovered they had more in common than first thought when they discovered most had been influenced by Omega men. Omega was the only fraternity discussed. The vote was unanimous for Omega to become the first charted black fraternity on the University of Arkansas campus.  Contact was made with Dr. Gordon Morgan, a faculty member on campus known to be an Omega man, who provided the guidance and assistance to make this happen.  Through Dr. Morgan’s efforts with his brother-in-law, Brother James Wise, who was State Representative for Omega at the time, this hope became a reality.

In August of 1974, 15 young men, 13 from the Brotherhood and two others, began the process of pledging Omega Psi Phi under the direction Brother Gordon Morgan and graduate students Danny Withers (serving as Dean of Pledges), Ronald Coleman, C. Calvin Smith, and Arnold Coleman.  Since there was no chapter of Omega on campus, the process was being coordinated under the auspices of Pi Omicron Graduate Chapter in Little Rock.  The pledge process lasted from the last week of August until December 7, 1974 with the crossing of 10 initial members known as Genesis 10: Lonnie R. Williams, Morris Sylvester, Donald Hatchett, Charles B. Frost, Ephron Robinson, Cliff Cain, Edward McKeel, Ronnie Thompson, Arthur Ezell and Edward J. Garland.  The chapter was awarded its charter and designation as Gamma Eta Chapter on February 18, 1975.  As of April 2026, 50 lines have crossed and 176 brothers have joined Omega thru the Gamma Eta chapter.  God Bless Gamma Eta and Long live Omega Psi Phi.
