I would like some further explanation to why the list of notable Omega Psi Phi men was deleted? In the debate discussions on the talk page, fraternity membership was deeemed irrelevant. However in the case of an organization such as Omega Psi Phi which is a historically black fraternity, men who have had promiment impacts on society are revered for their membership in this organization.
The page should be returned or a list of notable members should be made available on the main page for the fraternity. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.181.114.171 ( talk) 17:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
I'm surprised there's no reference to the Omega brand you often see on brothers. I'm sure it's not sanctioned by their HQ, but it seems to be a large part of their tradition ... anyone think it should be added? Jrssr5 14:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
This information is not accurate becuase as i reseached i found that another man was responsible for foundong this fraternity —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.184.221.187 ( talk) 15:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm frankly sort of surprised at the lack of a complete list of Grand Basilei. While I know there is a members only area of the Omega Psi Phi National website which I can't get to, I can't imagine the full list of Basilei is limited only to the brotherhood. Anyone have ideas on where to research or have access to the brothers only area of the Omega Psi Phi website to look to see if it is there? Naraht ( talk) 15:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Really, the correct Greek plural should be "Basileis."
Yes: Βασιλεῖς.
Also, what do the letters Omega Psi Phi stand for?

According to the source, From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning "friendship is essential to the soul," the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. And I have seen the greek phrase with those initials on several Omega Psi Phi related pages, but the connection that this *specific* phrase which can be translated as "friendship is essential to the soul" doesn't seem to be explicitly stated. I'd like to see it specifically referenced somewhere, the connection at this point, while I personally believe it, feels too close to Original Research. Any ideas for a specific reference?

At this point seven of the 9 NPHC members (all except the Omegas and the Iotas) have lists of their National Presidents (or equivalent terms) as Templates (See Category:Fraternity and Sorority President Lists), please add a referenced template for Omega Psi Phi.
I'm not sure whether Que Dog should be removed from the list of nicknames. While the National Organization strongly discourages this usage, the fact that it continues in the face of that might be appropriate for the article.
Both the "Que" and the branding practice, both notable aspects of the fraternity, should be included as a matter of factual integrity. BurntSox ( talk) 01:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Based on the last entry in http://www.omegapsiphifraternity.org/mofaq.asp , I feel that Omega Psi Phi should be added to both the Christian Fraternities category and to the Christian Fraternities page. I don't see any reason to drop any of the existing categories. In this case (that of a limitation), I think a primary source is fine. Naraht ( talk) 14:35, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
The following was deleted by an IP. Omega Psi Phi is also known for several high-profile incidents of hazing, despite have officially abolished it in 1985. In 1993 at the University of Maryland at College Park 24 members were arrested and tried for beating 6 pledges to the point that some required hospitalization, resulting in that chapter being banned from the university for 5 years. [1]
I'm torn on this, Hazing incidents are generally significant to a specific chapter not the overall fraternity.
