Message from The District Representative

Greetings men of Omega and friends of our beloved fraternity.

Welcome to the formidable First District web-site. This communication tool serves as a link to all the chapters that comprise the district from the six New England states.

As the district representative, let me first thank “God, our Supreme Basileus of the universe” and you my good brothers for this high privilege and honor to represent our district throughout the world of Omega. The formidable First District is home to our fraternity’s third oldest chapter, Gamma, chartered in 1916 by one of our honorable founders, Brother Edger Amos Love.

The four cardinal principles of our beloved fraternity: manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift serve as our guiding light as men of Omega and as for the communities in which we raise our families and work.

Brothers, as we strive to live out our fraternity’s motto of: “friendship is essential to the soul”, please remember to share the works of the First District with our webmaster Brother Mark Arnold at lotusebhat@gmail.com. Thank you my brothers and long live the Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

Fraternally yours in peace,
Carlton Pickron cpickron@wsc.ma.edu
1st District Representative

Leadership Conference 2009 Las Vegas Hilton, Las Vegas, NV July 23-25, 2009

The bi-annual Leadership Conference is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on July 23-25, 2009. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity with its sub groups such as the Supreme Council have been working with a hands on approach to the conference’s development under the direction of Bro. Carl Blunt, the 12th District and the careful eye of the District Representative, Bro. Charles Peevy, and our Las Vegas Task Force. All are committed to excellence in putting forth a successful conference.

The massive and progressive 12th District along with the able assistance of brothers residing in Las Vegas have joined forces to deliver this year's Leadership Conference 2009 (see description here OFFICE 2003 USERS, OFFICE 2007 USERS).

Many who come to Las Vegas are often surprised to find so many things to do and sites to see. Las Vegas is known for hotel and casinos along “The Strip.” In fact Las Vegas continues to build upon its reputation as the premier convention destination in the country.

As the host hotel, the world-famous Las Vegas Hilton brings 30 years of hospitality experience, tradition and service with all the fun and excitement Las Vegas has to offer! Convenience! You want an easy and affordable way to see Las Vegas! Then the Las Vegas Monorail is the way to go! Legendary casinos, free entertainment, old-fashioned gambling hospitality – this is the vintage Vegas of the Fremont Street Experience.

The Leadership Conference as we now know it was the brain child and came on line during the administration of Grand Basileus Dr. Moses C. Norman. The original intent was to enlighten the brotherhood on the inner workings of the fraternity, to prepare brothers for office and to discuss and address the current obstacles facing or communities.
