Chapter History

Two Latinas at Oswego State University wanted to join an organization unlike any other that would serve as a home away from home on a college campus comprised of women of various backgrounds. It was important to these women that this "home" be a place in which they could come together to celebrate culture, accomplishments, joys, sorrows and most importantly sisterhood. But to their dismay there was no such organization available to them on their campus.

After intense research and countless hours of soul searching, Michele Adorno and Cecila Parisi discovered that it was their destiny to belong to an organization that possessed and embodied the precious elements of true sisterhood, respect, strength, academic excellence, and cultural awareness. These are the principles and traits they found in Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

In the fall of 1993 amongst the harshest of conditions; freezing temperatures, lake effect snow and hazy fog, Michele Adorno and Cecila Parisi had the strength and determination to embark on a journey that would change Oswego State University and its community at large, and most importantly their own lives.

Through the dedication of sisters from the Delta Chapter, located at the State University of New York at Binghamton, Michele and Cecila were able to fulfill their quest and on December 11, 1993 established the Zeta chapter of Omega Phi Beta at Oswego State University.
