Omega Center

The Upsilon Omega chapter has officially taken occupancy of the old UAW Hall. The chapter has renamed the facility, The Omega Center. The address is 3900 Goodfellow (63120) and the phone number is 385-4100.  Please stop by and visit the new facility. In addition to acquiring the new facility we have also acquired a new monthly note, we are requesting that all available brothers return to the fold and pay your dues and assessments, if you need to know the amounts, please see dues section above. The facility will house a number of offices, conference rooms, banquet halls, kitchens and soon a small club, for fraternity, public and private use. For more detailed information contact Bro. James Trimble at the Omega Center at 314-385-4100, or just stop by. 

 

Brothers, at this time we have exhausted all of the funds allocated to bring the New Center up to code and gain occupancy. We are calling for all available brothers to please dedicate either labor or monetary donations, in order for us to move to the next phase of this endeavor. We need as many brothers as possible to step forward and step up. We have a plan with numerous tasks that need to be done, if you have the necessary skills or not, plumbing, electrical, or carpentry, or would like to donate money and/or materials please contact the Center at the information above.  

 

Founders Banquet/ Mardi gras
