ABOUT OGRE PHI OGRE
Back in 1969, only five short years after the passage of the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Original Ogres started their freshmen year at Hampton Institute. Honoring the body of work produced by Walter Allen in his description of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, this class was called to “preserve a culture, prosper a community, equip a new generation of leaders, and model what is best in America.”
THE ORIGINAL OGRE PHI OGRE CLASS
In 1969, the Original Ogre Phi Ogres became the first students at Hampton (Institute) University to organize as activists, galvanize a movement with the naming of subsequent classes, refuse to remain silent about the things that really mattered, and engage others in creating change.
