Omega Psi Phi Upsilon Chapter Having been incorporated in 1914, Omega Psi Phi, Inc. has extended it realm national- ly to include only those men of high quality and morals. Omega, numbering a member- ship well in the thousands, has contributed many services in public affairs, civil rights and the overall welfare of mankind. Upsilon Chapter, here at Wllberforce, was founded in 1923 by Colonel Charles Young. The members of this chapter also exem- plify the high standards held by Omega. And because of their quality, they function on the belief that eight men thoroughly immersed in the true Omega spirit are far greater assets, then eighty men with luke warm enthusiasm. Presently the fraternity had 93 undergrad- uate chapters and 205 Graduate chapters including chapters in Nlonrovia, Liberia, West Africa and another in Frankfurt, Ger- many. The fraternity's colors are Purple and Gold. STANDING: Sheriette C. Stokes, Ill: Bernard Miller, D.P.3 Robert A.
