The purpose of this Brotherhood, a Service/Social fraternity dedicated to the needs and concerns of the community, is and shall be to promote and maintain the traditional values of Unity, Honesty, Integrity, and Leadership. This Brotherhood was founded in order to provide, to ANY man, a diverse fraternal experience which coincides with a higher education.

“One culture, any race.” This motto accurately describes Omega Delta Phi’s philosophy of inclusion. While proud to be a fraternity founded primarily by Latinos at Texas Tech University, Omega Delta Phi has always found itself in the position of appealing the people of many races and backgrounds. This begs the question, “Why is this true?” The reason is that our ideals are universal. While other organizations focus on what they have been, Omega Delta Phi focuses on what it is becoming. Race is a limiting concept that forces people of a nationality and/or color into preconceived roles and expectations. However, any man will tell you that people of the same nationality can be as different as night and day in their beliefs and ideals. A culture, however, is defined by a set of shared ideals, traditions, and values. Omega Delta Phi was founded on the concept that in order to truly grow as an individual, one must experience views which can challenge his preconceived perceptions to foster growth and enlightenment.

Since its founding, Omega Delta Phi has been an organization perpetually dedicated to the idea of constant growth and improvement. As such, we face the new challenges of tomorrow with a growing sense of optimism and newfound awareness that “good” will not be good enough. We must work to form an organization which not only challenges the traditional perception of fraternities, but also one which deals with the issues of culture and race from a completely new perspective. Thinking outside of the box is no longer an acceptable plateau; the box must now be removed completely.
