From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the current active chapters of Omega Phi Alpha. [1][2]

Generally, chapters of Omega Phi Alpha are named in Greek alphabetical order. The only exception to this is the Penn State chapter, which was founded from a local sorority named Theta Alpha Pi. This chapter was named Alpha Theta as a tribute to their founding organization.

To go on the talk page: "I created this page in accordance with Wikipedia policy of not having an entire chapter listing on a sorority's article page. Elerina (talk) 07:49, 13 March 2010 (UTC)"
