Celebrating Excellence. Honoring Service. Inspiring the Future.

Each November, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. celebrates Achievement Week, an internationally recognized observance dedicated to recognizing individuals whose accomplishments, leadership, and service have contributed to the uplift of our communities.

The tradition has deep roots in Omega's commitment to scholarship, Black history, achievement, and community uplift. At the 1920 Nashville Grand Conclave, Brother Dr. Carter G. Woodson, renowned historian and member of Omega Psi Phi, inspired the Fraternity to promote the study and recognition of Black life and history. This vision helped lay the foundation for the national observance that became Achievement Week.

Today, Achievement Week remains one of Omega Psi Phi's internationally mandated programs. Observed each November, it provides chapters with an opportunity to recognize outstanding individuals, celebrate community accomplishments, promote scholarship, and highlight the positive impact of service. The program also includes the Fraternity's High School Essay Contest, encouraging young people to engage with important issues and develop their voices as future leaders.

For the Eta Nu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Achievement Week is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and celebrate the people who exemplify the principles that guide our Fraternity:

MANHOOD • SCHOLARSHIP • PERSEVERANCE • UPLIFT

Eta Nu Nu will share additional information about our 2026 activities, honorees, programs, and celebrations. More details will be announced as plans are finalized.

Achievement Week  

Brother Carter G. Woodson "The Father of Black History" inspired the establishment of National Achievement Week to promote the study of Negro life and History. In 1927, the Fraternity made Achievement Week an annual observance. In 1976, this commemoration evolved into Black History Month.
