Answer: (A)

Manhood in Omega Psi Phi is about ethical development and leadership demonstrated through action and responsibility. It means growing your character, making principled choices, keeping commitments, and serving others in the fraternity and in the community. A true man shows leadership by stepping up, mentoring younger members, and handling duties with accountability—not by titles, physical strength, or popularity. This emphasis on action and responsibility guides how members strive to live and lead, alongside the other cardinal ideals of scholarship, perseverance, and uplift.
