Just some info on this thread--
Omega Phi Alpha does not have an entry in Baird's Manual of American
College Fraternities. APO and Gamma Sigma Sigma <are>, in addition
to a service fraternity called the Intercollegiate Knights and a sophomore
women's service recognition sorority called The National Spurs.
I'm not saying that Omega Phi Alpha doesn't exist--it just isn't listed
in the "bible" of American fraternities and sororities.
One caveat even so: Baird's lists all APO chapters through Alpha Gamma
Zeta as ACTIVE (that's 657 chapters, folks!) and repeats the 19th edition
info in the 20th edition because NO CURRENT INFO WAS PROVIDED. Hello,
National Office....?
Also, Baird's shows a chapter called Minnesota Alpha, chartered in 1902
(excuse me?) at the University of Minnesota. It notes that December 16
is observed as National Founders' Day each year but fails to say anything
about the first Saturday in November....
Also, Baird's has no listing of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, another service
organization with collegiate chapters...strange...
BTW, personal for Scott Begin: The APO chapter at Lee College was at the
Lee College in Cleveland, TN (Chi Tau) and was chartered in 1971, in
case you haven't been able to update that item yet.
