OUR BELOVED CHAPTER

The Gamma Gamma Gamma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. was not simply established—it was forged through perseverance, vision, and an unyielding belief in the power of brotherhood. Chartered on January 6, 1984, in Madison, Wisconsin, its existence is a testament to six years of determined effort, multiple attempts, and the collective resolve of men who refused to let the vision fade. With the affirmation of Brother John S. Epps, 10th District Representative, the dream was realized—transforming aspiration into legacy. At the forefront of that charge was Brother Charles H. Brown, whose leadership carried the chapter’s application to the 1984 Kansas City Grand Conclave and who would go on to serve as the chapter’s first Basileus for three foundational years.

The nine charter members laid a sacred foundation rooted in the Cardinal Principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. Their transition into Omega Chapter stands not as an end, but as an eternal connection—reminding us that their labor, sacrifice, and spirit continue to guide the work of Gamma Gamma Gamma.

In 1994, the chapter expanded its commitment to service in a transformative way with the creation of the Carter G. Woodson Scholarship & Community Service Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) embodiment of the chapter’s dedication to sustained community impact. Under the pioneering leadership of Brother Anthony Wade and the current stewardship of Brother Percy Brown, Jr., the Foundation has become the engine of the chapter’s outreach—ensuring that service is not episodic, but enduring, strategic, and deeply rooted in community need.

For more than four decades, Gamma Gamma Gamma has remained unwavering in its commitment to scholarship and uplift. Each year, the chapter has invested in the futures of young scholars through scholarships and book awards—affirming that education is both a pathway and a promise. Beyond the classroom, the chapter has extended its reach into the heart of the Madison community—feeding families through its long-standing Thanksgiving Food Drive, mentoring young men through partnerships with the Dane County Boys & Girls Club and Vera Court Community Center, and addressing critical issues through programs like its early workshop on Teenage Human Sexuality for African-American males. This is not casual service—it is intentional, relational, and rooted in a deep responsibility to uplift those most in need.

That commitment has not gone unnoticed. Gamma Gamma Gamma’s excellence has been recognized across the 10th District, including the distinguished honor of Graduate Chapter of the Year for six consecutive years from 2018 through 2024. Yet beyond accolades, the chapter’s true distinction lies in its consistent impact, its disciplined operations, and its unwavering dedication to doing the work—day in and day out.

Leadership within Gamma Gamma Gamma extends far beyond the local level. The chapter has produced influential voices and steady hands across the District—serving in roles spanning Budget & Finance, Regional Intake, Undergraduate Housing, and Time and Place. The enduring leadership of Brothers Charles Brown and Langston Evans as State Representatives, and the current service of Brother Rafeeq Asad in that same role, reflects a tradition of stepping forward when called. The election of Brother Demetrius Williams as District Director of Public Relations and the impactful service of Brother Richard Jones, Sr. as District Counselor further affirm that Gamma Gamma Gamma is not only a chapter of participants—but a chapter of leaders.

Equally significant is the chapter’s steadfast commitment to bridging generations. Through meaningful engagement with undergraduate chapters Epsilon Theta and Sigma Zeta, Gamma Gamma Gamma has championed the importance of mentorship, guidance, and unity—ensuring that the spirit of Omega is not only preserved, but strengthened across generations.

Though modest in size, Gamma Gamma Gamma stands as a dynamic force—driven not by numbers, but by purpose. Its mission remains clear: to improve the quality of life for the disadvantaged and the downtrodden, to lead with integrity, and to serve with intention.

In the spirit of brotherhood, we are reminded of the words of Brother George Mears, who described Omega as a family—one that does not abandon its own, but instead reaches back, lifts up, and restores. That philosophy continues to guide Gamma Gamma Gamma today, calling each brother to remain engaged, accountable, and committed to the collective good.

Long live the legacy. Long live the labor. Long live Gamma Gamma Gamma—and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
