Omega Psi Phi's Beta Chapter was founded about 3 years later, in 1914, by the efforts of students at Lincoln Univ. in PA. The following are brief excerpts from a report dated May 6, 1915 on the founding of Beta Chapter.
THE ORGANIZATION OF BETA CHAPTER
"In the fall of 1913 four members of the Junior Class of Lincoln Univeristy met in Brother A.M. Willis' room to consider the most expedient move to circumvent the unscrupulous attacks of certain factions and political onslaughts...After a prolonged consideration we decided that an effort must be made to unite against the aristocratic tyranny of certain members of the University.
It was such a conception that fathered our communication and sending of a representative to Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi;with sufficient instructions and authoritative knowledge to consider plans for our incipiency into the college life of Lincoln University.
On February 6,1914. twenty men met your representatives,Brothers Brannon,Cooper and McMorris, with their hearts and minds resolved to fight corruption and aristocracy at every angle until Lincoln University stood as a fitting monument to our martyred President."
