National History

In the fall of 1987, seven distinct men of vision:

Joe Cereceres
Eugene Dominguez
Arturo Barraza
Juan Barraza
Tommy Hurtado
Chris Forbes
Elliot Bazaan

... came together at Texas Tech University to form a brotherhood.

“Since founding in 1987, Omega Delta Phi has been an organization perpetually dedicated to the idea of constant growth and improvement. We must work to form an organization which not only challenges the traditional perception of fraternities, but also deals with the issues of culture and race in a completely new perspective. Thinking out of the box is no longer an acceptable plateau; the box must now be removed completely” (http://www.omegadeltaphi.com).

Sigma History
