Why did you pledge OPBSI?
Coming into college I never imagined being part of a sorority. But looking into OPB i noticed right away that it was DIFFERENT by the way the sisters carried themselves, to the amazing leadership skills they portrayed I knew this was a sisterhood like NO OTHER! What I loved most was what OPB stood for, and how they embraced WOMANHOOD, CULTURE, &  PRIDE! Deciding to pledge for Omega Phi Beta Sorority Inc, has by far been one of the best decisions and experiences of my life.  It was an UNFORGETTABLE experience that I will forever cherish! And i truly mean EVERY word when i sing "its in my heart. . YEA, its in my SOUL. . YEA. . I love my BLACK, my Green, and my RADIANT GOLD!!!

Why did you pledge OPBSI? When I first encountered Omega Phi Beta, what I first noticed was their confidence, creativity, and professionalism as well as their involvement in their community, and I felt that I could only grow from an organization like OPBSI. Like everyone always says I wanted to make a difference, but also, I believed that OPBSI was the only organization that I could relate to and become a better individual. OPBSI is not only a sisterhood and a family, but it is also an outlet to express who you are. I am so proud to be part of OPBSI and I would not change a moment of it.


What do you hope to gain from OPBSI?  I have already gained so much from this sisterhood and I continue to do so because we continue to grow and improve with time. I am already a stronger person for going through our process and I continue to learn more about myself and push myself beyond my limits. I have gained so much confidence in myself and I have learned how to be a leader from OPBSI.  I hope to continue to gain insight about myself and one day work to accomplish something amazing along with my BEAUTIFUL and RADIANT sisters. OPBSI will always be in my HEART and in my SOUL!!
