ABOUT IOTA NU NU
The story of the Iconic Iota Nu Nu Chapter is a story of vision, perseverance and collective action — from an idea shared among brothers in Greenville to a chartered chapter serving Pitt County and communities across Eastern North Carolina.
OUR BEGINNING
Iota Nu Nu did not begin with a ceremony. It began with conversations among Omega men who believed Greenville and the surrounding Pitt County community could be served by a new graduate chapter.
Early organizing included a small gathering at Brother Freddie Outterbridge’s home and additional planning at Pitt Community College. The work continued through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring the same perseverance the fraternity names among its Cardinal Principles.
By February 2021, that organizing effort had become the Iconic Iota Nu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. The timeline below preserves the major milestones in that journey.
Chapter History
The chapter’s history is best understood as a sequence of distinct milestones: organizing, official approval, charter presentation and continued growth.
Early organizing
2020
The chapter’s remembered history traces the effort to a small group of Omega men meeting in Greenville, including an early gathering at Brother Freddie Outterbridge’s home and subsequent planning at Pitt Community College. Those conversations helped turn the idea of a new graduate chapter serving Pitt County into an organized effort.
The organizing meeting
August 27, 2020
At 7:00 p.m. in Joyner Auditorium at Pitt Community College, fifteen members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. assembled to advance the concept of establishing a new chapter in the Greenville area. This was an organizing milestone, not the chapter’s formal charter date.
The charter
February 1, 2021
Following Sixth District review, approval by District Representative Brother Kurt Walker and submission to Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. International Headquarters, Iota Nu Nu received official approval dated February 1, 2021. The chapter’s existing historical record identifies 31 charter members.
The presentation
May 21, 2021
A chartering ceremony was held at the Greenville Convention Center with 28 members on the chapter roster for the ceremony. District Representative Brother Alfonzo White formally presented Iota Nu Nu with its official charter.
The next generation
Fall 2021
Later that year, Iota Nu Nu welcomed its first line of nine new members, beginning the next chapter of growth, brotherhood and service for the newly chartered chapter.
The Charter
The chapter’s founding story is preserved not only in dates and recollections, but in the artifacts of the chartering itself.
Lineage
Each line adds another chapter to the story of Iota Nu Nu. This record preserves the brothers who entered the chapter through its membership process after chartering.

FIVE YEARS STRONG — AND JUST GETTING STARTED
From its beginning, Iota Nu Nu was established to expand Omega’s tradition of service, scholarship, mentorship, civic engagement and brotherhood throughout Eastern North Carolina. The chapter continues that work through programs focused on youth, education, health, fatherhood, voter registration education and mobilization, scholarships and direct community service.
