Omega Psi Kappa is the world's first--and, as far as we know, the only--international camping fraternity for men.  Formed in 2004, Omega Psi Kappa unites in brotherhood all men who enjoy camping and the outdoor experience. 

The Greek letters (ΩΨΚ) from which we derive our name are a poor acronymic translation of the Native American word "Ot-Yo-Kwa."  Ot-Yo-Kwa has powerful historical and symbolic meaning for our camping fraternity.  Additionally, Ot-Yo-Kwa is the name of the boys-camp where our organization was founded. Moreover, in the Indian vernacular, Ot-Yo-Kwa means "all for one,

one for all."  This phrase best represents our
belief in unity and and cooperative action.

Omega Psi Kappa is active throughout the United States and in many nations around the world.  If you are interested in starting an Omega Psi Kappa chapter at your camp, please contact us.
