Chapter History
The Omicron Rho Chapter of PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC. was chartered October 10th, 1984 on the campus of then Longwood College under the guidance and direction of Iota Sigma Chapter, located in Richmond, VA. The "Lucky 7" line consisted of seven members. Thurman Richard, Novey Wiley, Reginald Thompson, Gary Cason, Timothy Walker, Gary Callis, and Albert Van Graves.
We were advised by Iota Sigma chapter until late 2009-2010. During this period, we transitioned to being advised by Alpha Kappa Sigma, located in Petersburg, VA. This persisted until October 12th, 2020 at 1:56am. On this day, we were officially transitioned back to being advised by Iota Sigma Chapter via email from acting State of Virginia Director, Bro. Rodney Wright.
During April, 2021 a plot was constructed by the chapter in conjunction with other plots of active NPHC organizations on Longwood University's campus. This plot was located by the Clark Intercultural Center behind the parking lot of the REC Center.
