Chapter History

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is an organizational Brotherhood consisting of 750 chapters throughout the world. Rho Tau Chapter of Omega Psi Phi is located in Lake County Illinois. We work with several communities in Lake County and Kenosha County, Wisconsin. Some of those communites are Evanston, North Chicago, Waukegan, Zion, Lake Villa, Gurnee and Kenosha. We host several events thoughout the year. Our fund raising proceeds go out in the form of scholarships and awards. We welcome all donations and your support by attending our events.

Being a part of the most illustrious fraternity does involve a great deal of work; we play hard but we work even harder.  As members, we are taught that the real work comes once you “cross the burning sands”, and that is not a tongue and cheek statement.

Bound together by our Four Cardinal Principles; Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift, our chapter has enjoyed 50 years of success.  With the help of the communities that we serve, as well as a renewed vigor each and every year by the chapter members, we look forward to servicing our community for the next 50 years and beyond.
