"Que" is the term that means "Omega" on historically black college
campuses and black communities.
It originates from Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, founded in 1911 at Howard.
People said that the letter Omega looked like a Q, so it stuck.
On black college campuses, since the Omegas were already known as Ques,
APO members were known as A Phi Ques.
