-Recite "Invictus" - -Invictus
By William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

1941)
-Chi Omega Chapter History - -THE EARLY BEGINNING
, The Chi Omega Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. was chartered
December 15, 1924, in Thomasville, Ga. The Chapter experienced growth
and stability as the roaring 20's ended. The 1930's were a time of despair for

were scarce. The Chapter experienced a decline in membership for the first
time in its history. With the ending of the war in 1945, jubilant times again
were upon the United States. Chi Omega shook off its weary war years and
began to grow and prosper with the vitality of a phoenix.
THE FIFTIES
While man began his quest to explore the heavens, Chi Omega was taking
an active role in the development of young black minds through education.
Chi Omega members were role models serving the community and exuding
the true quality of Omega men. The Chapter continued to experience growth
and expansion in its active membership roster. The Brothers of Chi Omega
were prepared to take on the challenges that were about to occur in the
social and economical fiber of our society.
