Birmingham Celebrates Centennial of 3 Local Black Greek-letter Organizations

Three Legacies, One Century recognizes the collective centennial anniversaries of The TAU Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated; The Alpha Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated; and The Omicron Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. “Sustaining an organization for 100 years is a major feat that is not easy. It’s not simple, and what’s represented here is the next generation,” Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said during the unveiling. “The torch has been passed to represent and sustain these organizations. These college-educated African Americans you see standing here have maintained their mission … to serve our community for decades in spite of many challenges.” Since 1924, each organization has continued to inspire and build up surrounding Birmingham communities through scholarships, education, and serving as role models, the City said.
