On the evening of November 17, 1911, inside Science Hall-now historic Thirkield Hall-at Howard University in Washington, D.C., undergraduates Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and Frank Coleman joined faculty advisor Dr. Ernest E. Just to establish Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Built upon the motto "Friendship is Essential to the Soul" and the Cardinal Principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift, that lifelong bond of brotherhood lives on through chapter milestones, probate memories, and Founders' Day reunions.
The Omega Psi Phi Gold Photo Hanging Display gives Ques a dedicated wall gallery in official Royal Purple and Old Gold, combining historic fraternal heraldry with a five-clip beaded garland for displaying line portraits, convention snapshots, and service gatherings.
Howard University Architectural Crown, Que Dog Bulldog, and Heraldic Shield
Crowning the top of the plaque is a classical columned brick facade evoking the fraternity's Howard University birthplace, complete with an ΩΨΦ pediment and two waving Royal Purple ΩΨΦ flags on gold flagpoles. Directly beneath the portico sits a bold gold Que Dog bulldog head wearing a spiked Royal Purple and Old Gold collar. The central white textured oval medallion is framed by a riveted purple-and-gold border and sculpted-look gold laurel branches, displaying Royal Purple OMEGA PSI PHI and Greek ΩΨΦ lettering above the official heraldic shield crest and a purple-and-gold ribbon inscribed FRIENDSHIP • SCHOLARSHIP • SERVICE.

UV-Printed Acrylic Construction and Beaded 5-Clip Garland
Produced from durable 3 mm or 4 mm acrylic with high-definition UV printing across a 30 × 15 cm (approx. 11.8 × 5.9 in) or 35 × 18 cm (approx. 13.8 × 7.1 in) footprint, the plaque brings crisp visual depth to an office, study, or den wall. It mounts indoors via the included top gold-tone metal link chain, while the lower attachment rings hold a beaded garland strand of alternating pearl-white, Royal Purple, and gold beads equipped with 5 gold-tone mini photo clips (photos not included).
Pinching open each gold-tone clip makes it simple to rotate Polaroids and chapter prints without frames or tape. Presented in a satin-lined Royal Purple and Old Gold gift box, this indoor decorative display should be wiped gently with a dry, soft cloth away from moisture and never overloaded with heavy items on the clips.
