Colony History
In the fall semester of 2003, two dedicated, committed and determined women started their path on a journey that would change their lives forever. With the guidance of two splendid chapters, Xi and Pi, Wynonah Ode was able to step into a radiant light on November 23, 2003 that would lead them into new and unknown horizons. On this day they became not only the first sorority on the Rhode Island College campus, but also the first women to establish Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. in the state of Rhode Island. After becoming deeply aware and affected by the lack of diversity and lack of recognition for minorities efforts, as well as the lack of Greek life on the campus. Wynonah Ode joined forces to make a difference in their community. Unity among women, especially those of minority background which often do not find who to identify with, was an inspiration to their struggle to introduce Omega Phi Beta to the campus.

Colony Cause:Children Literacy
Many children lack reading skills, so the sisters at Rhode Island College Colony feel that we could be a help to them by offering our assistance to schools and libraries. In Providence exists a high level of poverty which often leads to children not having access to books and materials that would benefit their reading skills and eventually enhance their cognitive development. We strive to provide these materials and any other help in order to help children have a successful future. Since our inception, we volunteered at schools in the Rhode Island area and planned activities such as book realouds to help increase students' reading comprehension and skills, we have held book drives and donated to Providence schools. We have volunteered at schools during holidays like Easter and held several activites for the students to participate in.
