Roo to the good, bruh. F'84 H Chapter. Great interview, prophyte.

[@derekcooper4391]

Let me clarify, we're not a Black Greek Org, we're a Black Greek LETTER Org...meaning that we are signified by Greek Lettering stemming from the traditions of College Campuses since 1776, but in no way are we about the life of Greeks, meaning the county of Greece, we're about the advancement and uplift of the life of African Americans and have been since the first Black Greek letter was founded in 1906.

Absolutely great interviews. Thanks Brother Dennis for shedding light on the purpose of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and it’s positive impact in the communities. Seeing so many black men come together for a purposeful cause is amazing. I have reached a better understanding of Greek Letter organizations and a new level of respect for the Ques who are true to the call. Be blessed and continue the good service.
💜💛
