The Reclamation and Retention Committee is responsible for the effective programming of retaining financial brothers in the chapter and reclaiming brothers who have not been financial for two or more years.
Help Us Reclaim Others
The Upsilon Omega Chapter is actively and aggressively trying to reclaim brothers to help further the mission of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. I know many of you are financial and actively involved with the Fraternity, and I also know that many of you know Brothers that are not. I am simply asking each of you to share this information with someone who has strayed away from the folds of Omega.
You may add an inactive brother's Name to our e-mail list by e-mailing

Have you ever asked yourself, "Why am I not an active member of the Fraternity?" I won't begin to answer that question for you because only you know. What ever reason you may possibly come up with (don't have the time, don't have the money, someone pissed you off, relocation of the International Headquarters, special membership, feel that you can't make a difference, etc), GET OVER IT! Change comes from within. No one ever said life was going to be easy, however, life is about choices, promises, and commitment, all of which you were very familiar with when you were down on your knees. We often reflect on our initiation process and neophyte years and remember the great and not so great times we had. In your next reflection, remember the poem, EXCUSES.
Omega Needs You!
Omega needs you and Upsilon Omega would love to have you. I invite you to explore our website. The website will provide general information about the chapter such as History, Officers, Calendar of Events and Committees. In Upsilon Omega, we are blessed to have numerous Brothers with many years of faithful service to Omega. I haven't counted them, but I believe they have served their time, and served it well. We need dedicated Brothers to step up to the plate and fill their shoes. Will it be you? You may add your name to our e-mail list by e-mailing Keeper of Records & Seal

If we are out of touch with the needs of the people, then let's get in touch. If our programs aren't relevant, then let's get them relevant. We've come too far to give up now. I solicit your support in the uplifting of a nation. Our people need us. Get involved. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION!
Try Omega Again
Omega is more than just a name, it's a lifestyle. It's the smile on a young kids face knowing that he just received a scholarship from Omega that will help him pay his college/university tuition. It's the satisfaction knowing that someone is going to have a hot meal tonight because you've provided assistance to your local soup kitchen. It's the joy you get knowing that you've tried to make a difference. In essence, the Omega lifestyle is about the Personal Sacrifices you make when you come to the aid of those who are less fortunate and, most of all, the friendships and relationships that are made and nurtured along the way. "TRY OMEGA AGAIN FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME".
Stop By The Frat House
If you're looking for a home or just happen to be in the area, you are always welcome to come and fellowship with us.
