The Founding Diamonds marked the beginning of what is Nationally known as Beta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc.on June 27, 2000.We wanted to start an organization that did not discriminate against women because of their ethnic background and sexual orientations. It was very important to us that we worked to form a unified, unique, diverse, and comfortable sisterhood. With the many issues that affect the LGBT community day to day, we also wanted to be a strong and active voice in the community by providing our service and leadership. Presently, Beta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. is victorious in offering exceptional service and leadership to many companies and organizations not just in the LGBT arena, but in all areas of service. continued-
