Bro. Jerry,
Everytime time we have an Alumni Chapter meeting it's almost like a reunion and it's natural for brothers from the same chapter to congregate and possibly zone out others around. However your right, at the next meeting or function please introduce yourself to me and I will be happy to introduce you to brothers that I know. Also maybe get more involved - volunteer for a committee or become an officer next year.
As far as changing the motto - to me it says it all!!

BROTHERHOOD UNTIL DEATH

Bro. Jerry Jacobs  - we are brothers   |76.109.36.xxx |08-31-2010
Dear Brothers, I had a great time at the picnic - I brought my 18 yr old son. I have 2 issues I would like to address and get some feedback.
1. I think our motto should be changed to brothers forever,instead of till death.
2. We are brothers from different chapters and we need to make all brothers feel at home. Over the last few get togethers I've noticed clicks forming many times. I would be the only brother from my chapter amoung 50-60 other brothers and standing alone. Thanks for listening.
Bro. Jerry Jacobs, Delta Psi 78'
GEORGE E DEJAGER  - Thanks to Brothers   |76.109.36.xxx |08-27-2010
I'd like to thank Bro. Bill Park for his excellent job in organizing the NJ Reunion and Bro. George Statler for the super job he did in making the Long Island Pinic a success. Brothers like these say a lot about the strength of the "Omega Spirit" and help to us to continue keep that sprit alive.

Thanks again to these brothers and those who helped to make both of these events so successful.

Sunday, June 27th..2010..the sun is shining here in Port Orange/Daytona Beach ,Florida....I go out to the supermarket like most Sunday mornings..only this time it`s a bit different....an elderly man walks up to me and says.."hello there young man"..he reaches to shake my hand...being the polite guy I am..I shake his hand...he begins to manipulate my hand into what would be the Omega handshake...I was very confused until I realized I had my Colors on !!!....He smiles & says..."1953, Jamaica ,New York"....I had such a feeling of Pride come over me..as all Omega Brothers should have...we talked a while...I told him about this site & I could see in his aged but wise eyes...he too felt the Pride of being in Omega Gamma Delta...I can only hope when I am his age I too encounter a younger Brother proudly displaying Omega Gamma Delta colors...so I can reach out & show him..."This truly is something Special"...So my Brothers..take care & take Pride in knowing you are part of something that has touched so many lives...young & old"....Fraternally yours...Bro.

The Brother is Danny Mc Loughlin.
Bro. Debert Kurmanov  - Beta Chapter '74   |174.48.96.xxx |04-05-2010
Great idea!! I still see a lot of Bros around, I work at the Chevy Store with another Bro and owner Bro Steve Barna. All Bros in the area run through the store sooner or later. The minute we see each other we sit and reminice about all the Omega storys. If your ever in the area stop by and see Bro Steve and Bro Debert.
Any Bros looking for a Chevy truck from Jersey, New York, or Conn - special Omega price, it's worth the call. Buy from a Brother and buy American. My cell - direct line 201 220-7179.

Bro. Kenny Smith, TZ '81  - What did Omega mean to you?   |174.48.96.xxx |02-10-2010
For me, it created a bond of friendship and brotherhood that has lasted over 20 years. My brothers in Tau-Zeta are still to this day some of my closest friends. The memories created during those crazy years will stay with me for the rest of my life. To this day when I see a brother from High School, the years just disappear. And as for brothers from other chapters, I feel a closeness knowing that they too have shared similar experiences. That this organization of ours, started by 2 brothers and a friend over 100 years ago, has given us the chance to forge these bonds. God bless you all.

Brother Kenny Smith TZ '81

Brother Tony Lespier  - Omega Jackets   |174.48.54.xxx |01-09-2010
Great job on website! If any brothers are interested in old school jackets from the 70's - 80's just go to www.jacketshop.com Stewart & Strauss. The company is in the USA. They have great jackets but no lettering. For that I went to 940 Hempstead Tunrpike, Franklin Square, New York 11010, customlogo@aol.com 516 437 4040, George Basile is the man to speak to about lettering. I hope this info helps.

PS: Joe Rosello, Joe Esposito, Mike Matos, Mark and Tony Smalls, where the hell are you guys?

Always remember.....

Sincerely,

Brother Tony Lespier

Brother Brian Kelly, Delta Psi  - Touching base...     |174.48.55.xxx |12-11-2009
Wow, where to start! So much has changed and sure so much remains the same. Whatever the chapter, we all shared the same experiences. Those were great days that helped to put and keep us on the right track as we all grew up and faced life's challenges. I remember well the faces and the names and personalities of the brothers back then. A good group of guys that I was proud as hell to be a part of. Glad to see the site, and glad to know that the Omega spirit is still alive.

Our families, our communities, our country and our world needs good men right now, and I'm absolutely positive that Omega men across the nation are serving as fine examples as to the backbone of what's right. Remember, now is ALWAYS the time.

From one brother to another,

Brother Brian, Delta Psi '78

Michael "Mike" E. Glennon  - Golf Tournament   |174.48.55.xxx |11-26-2009
Brothers,

I am writing to congratulate all of us for finding this site and being part of this great brotherhood. I was a very active member back in "the day" as I am sure we can all relate. There are many of us who have made our mark on this world in one way or another.......some for great causes some ..just to toot our own horns. I ask all of you now to go beyond ourselves and think of the future....our children, grand children and great grandchildrens future. Take a few moments in the next few months and think about what a great suppport system this fraternity can be in the future for all of our decendants. If we keep the faith and keep the oath we took years ago in H.S., there really is a great deal we can pass on to the people we love. The best....is the Loyalty and real freindship bonds of being a Brother in Omega Gamma Delta.
I was 15 and lost my dad to death. I had no father figure or older brother, but I was pledging to get into the Gamma Theta chapter. Everyone, and I mean everyone in that chapter stepped in and became my older brother. I can never ever repay that kind of love or fraternal bond.
What I would like to do is start a foundation for the children, spouses, dependants of all brothers that will guarantee all of them a fair shake at getting a good education.
I would like to ask all who read this to contact this site and express their desire or lack of desire to participate in the FIRST OMEGA GAMMA DELTA GOLF TOURNAMENT, to benefit the children and spouse's of diabled or deceased brothers. I would like to get the first tournament started in Aug. or Oct 2010. Kindly respond with your thoughts or gifts to this site c/o Golf Tournament 2010.

Always Remember ......

We need to talk. Not only were we frat brothers but Bro Steve and Eric Ferber were in my wedding. Contact me at mdteamo@aol.com we are having a class of 76 mini reunion on the 20th of November out on the Island and a bunch of us want to see you. Do you remember a certain new years 4am sitting at my kitchen table eating pints of ice cream when you suddenly noticed your hand? We are starting an Omega Gamma Delta Alumni association and I want you to be with us if possible.
Brother Steve Mendes-Tau Zeta   |174.48.55.xxx |11-03-2009
Just came across this site. I never knew it existed. It brings back many terrific memories. I was a member of Tau Zeta from '72-'76 and chapter President from '74-'76.

It has been a long time so I would like to say hello to Tau Zeta members Mark Drucker, Jay Knorr, Mikko Red Arrow and Tom Andello. Mark and Jay were my VP and Sargent at Arms.
Bro. Kevin Mackay  - Delta Psi '72     |98.77.66.xxx |11-03-2009
Very Cool ! I joined in the fall of 1972 at Valley Stream South High School. I do remember having 64 kids pledging back then and only 8 making it, I was 1 of the 8 and hellnite will never be forgotten! It wasn't easy back then and I have made some great friendship over the years. Good to see this site up and running. Would love to get an vintage jacket let me know if there is anyone that has one to sell. Thanks Brother Kevin Mackay
Bro. Bruce Stanfield     |98.77.66.xxx |11-03-2009
Whew, doesn't seem like 47 years ago that I bid a fairwell to most all of my brothers. Valley Stream South class of 62', and those few years prior and after, were a "great" bunch of guy's. Can still reflect back on the "frat" parties at Brother Lanziotta's finished room above his garage. Good times were had by all! Just wondering, is Delta Psi Chapter still existing today?

To All Alpha Psi Omegamen
Bro. Ted Libath has started an Alpha Psi page on Facebook. The web address is www.facebook.com Omega Gamma Delta Alpha Psi Alumni. So far there are 33 brothers listed on the site. Most Brothers seem to be from the 60's 70's and 80's. Tell all your Alpha Psi Brothers to visit the site and join in. In the over 70 years that Alpha Psi was strong and healthy over 800 Brothers joined Omega Gamma Delta via pledging Alpha Psi. We should be able to find and alert hundreds of other Alpha Psi Brothers to visit the site and sign up as an alumnus of Alpha Psi.
Sincerely,
Jerry Lange Alpha Psi '64

Hi brothers. I just facebooked this website to other members. Hopefully this might start a spark out there.
Bro. Joseph Giordano-  - Delta Psi '80   |76.18.31.xxx |09-19-2009
Hello Brothers,

The website that you have is really great. My friends and I were very active between 1977-1980. We went to most of the Grand Chapter meetings in NYC. Tarleton was the GP and Kettles and Fritz were there too. It was great that I had a chance to meet and know them. I graduated from Valley Stream South in 1980 - Delta Psi Chapter. I still have contact with at least 10 brothers from Delta Psi. Please place me on your mailing list for Omega events because I know many of them would like to attend them.

Thanks again,
Brother Joseph Giordano
Bill Michel-Alpha Psi '76  - Happy Birthday Charlie   |76.18.31.xxx |09-14-2009
Dear Charlie Kettles,
I recently discovered this website and I want to wish you a very happy birthday. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have given to Omega over the years. You don't know me but you put up with alot of "garbage" from the Alpha Psi brothers during the mid-70"s at the Grand Chapter meetings. Again, thank you for your patience and being a great supporter of the fraternity over the years. I was also sorry to hear of the passing of brother Fritz I know he was a good friend of yours. God bless you and best of health for many years to come.
Brother Bill Michel

Bro. Rob Magrino  - Omega Book   |24.188.163.xxx |07-25-2009
Hey Mac...If my memory serves me well there may be no room for the other chapters' stories after you chronicle Alpha Psi!!! just remember--"What happened in Alpha Psi stays in Alpha Psi"....LOL
Bro. Tony Macri  - Omega Memories   |76.18.31.xxx |07-25-2009
Hey Bros, On the home page there is a post about a book on Omega memories. The format will be various stories relating to pledging, individual or chapter accomplishments, parties, meetings, Grand Chapter or convention experiences. Please send any stories you want, they can be any length. After each story I will list the name, chapter and year of the brother who submitted it. If any brother does not want their name listed I will leave it out. Please send me what you can, I think we can come up with a very special book on the old days. Of course to my brothers at VSC Alpha Psi in the 80's, I know we can fill a book on our own if we dont get indicted first - Ha.

Email me at - amacri@aol.com

Brother Bob Phillips (Beta)   |70.90.17.xxx |06-22-2009
First time checking out the site. It is a blast from the past.
My first year in Omega we rented two houses at the Jersey Shore (1971).The seniors in one and the rest of us in the other house.Then KGL fraternity rented the two houses next to us. The Omegas did all kinds of raids on the KGL house during the first two days. The police came and tossed the other Fraternity out for causing trouble.To this day I have no idea how we BS our way out of that mess. That night we all celebrated the victory and I remember Brother Billy Delaney singing all night long "Rocky Raccoon" every word and did all the instrumentals vocally as well.
"To Thee Omega Gamma Delta Our Fraternity...Boom,Boom,Boom,Boom..
Good luck to all the Brothers from Brother Bob Phillips Beta

Brothers,
I am absolutely stoked that the turnout for the Annual meeting was such a success. I am so disappointed I have not been able to take part in such a great time. So many of you in the brotherhood have been great friends to me, I feel I have not done my part to add to it in the recent times. It isn't from a lack of respect or appreciation for what OGD has meant to me. I hope I will have the privlege to take part in the next meetiing and contribute to the alumni group and show my respect to all of you and OGD.

An East Rock Alumni Brother  - Bro. Pete Johansen   |76.18.31.xxx |06-03-2009
Brothers--
More than 100 people (including three Omega brothers) attended the military retirement ceremony of U. S. Navy Captain Pete Johansen, Beta Chi '70, on May 16, 2009. It drew out a large number of uniformed Naval officers including the unusually high tally of eight other active duty and two retired Navy captains who watched Brother Pete receive a Navy Meritorious Service Medal and assorted proclamations by political figures such as the Governor of New York and the Nassau County Executive.

During 30 years of duty in the Navy Reserves, Pete (past Princeps of Beta Chi and eight-term Grand Officer) served two extended active duty tours in the mid-east during the Second Iraq War. He has commanded a number of Naval port units and stepped down from his final assignment in January. Pete got a good deal of public recognition in September 2001, for having been the man who largely organized the mass evacuation of lower Manhattan by boat after the 9/11 attack.

Bro. George Brush  - Beta Gamma '72   |76.108.89.xxx |04-26-2009
I was in high school and I went to the mall to buy a shirt. A salesmen in his 60's helped me. After I paid he said thanks for your business and reached out his hand. He gave me the Omega grip and smiled. After that I began to understand what being in Omega truly meant. Later that year Brothers D'Apolito, Savik and I drove to Maryland to visit founder Arthur Edrop. A truly remarkable man. And an experience I will never forget.
I will Always remember Omega Gamma Delta!

Bro. Dobbs - Beta '76   |76.18.31.xxx |07-22-2009
1975 - An old story of a Beta Pi party in the woods, somewhere behind some houses in Pompton Lakes. We walked our keg in about a mile. All the brothers were having a good time. I remember Bro. Charlie Perry an active member invited us. After a couple of hours into the party we were ambushed by the local cops. We all scrambled not to get caught. Hiding in residential backyards and businesses - where ever we could hide out. The cops were standing on some cliff near a quarry with binoculars radioing other cops where we were hiding. Bummer. Most of our parents were called to come and pick us up at the station. Now that was an exiting Omega night.

Brothers,
In response to the previous message. The meeting will be conducted in accordance with Roberts Rules of Order. During Old Business, among other business - we will continue our discussion of the establishment of chapters on the community college level.
We have set aside ample time for New Business. In addition to your input we expect there to be lively discussion of the establishment of alumni oganizations, the Grand Chapter, the website, active chapters, and socials.
Brothers please make every effort to attend and please bring a brother. The momentum we have gained is substantial and the loyalty demonstrated through e-mails and this message board in such a short period of time is a testament to our brotherhood.
Fraternally yours,
Brother Mike D'Apolito

Brother Scott Piazzi-Beta Psi   |98.77.53.xxx |04-15-2009
Dear Sirs & Brothers,
My memories of Omega will always be held fondly in my heart. The years gone by have made me reminiscent. I am proud to always remember my active years (1981 - 1985) with the Beta Psi chapter and was honored to be the chapter's president in 1983 & 1984.

My fraternal life is something I have always cherished. Life has, bitter sweetly, brought me far from those times and those brothers and away from one of the most formative alliances I had in my life. When I remember those things that were important to me growing up, it is my active years within Omega that I regard the most.

I was doing research about my cousin, Philip Devito (Omega 1976), and I when I came upon the listings of all of us at Beta Psi. While the later years are a little off, here and there, everyone is accounted for that I know of. Just seeing all of those names made me smile.

I just wanted you, the current keepers of the faith, to know what Omega has meant to me. If there is any way to get back in touch with anyone from Beta Psi, or any of the surrounding chapters, I would really like to rekindle those connections. If I can ever be of any service to the brotherhood again, please do me the honor of contacting me.

My colors may be faded, my ring was sadly stolen, but I will always be black & gold.

Fraternally, Yours in Omega Gamma Delta,
Brother Louis Scott Piazza

Bros from Alpha Sigma Psi Chapter Haledon/North Haledon would attend "parties" at the Beta Pi Chapter frat house...what great times. I still don't know where the house was!! I just looked for the big radio tower, and I never remembered leaving.... Brother Grasso, Brother Santini, and I would also hang with the Iota Chapter in Paterson. It is great to see all the bros visiting this site, does anyone know how many chapters are still active??

Brother Vito Costanza   |76.108.89.xxx |03-16-2009
Brothers,

I had an opportunity to have a spirited discussion with Brother Michael D'Apolito, Beta Gamma '66 this Afternoon. Brother Michael, amongst committing both his time and resources to the success of this website as well as to our organization over these many years clearly shares the same lively OGD spirit demonstrated by my Alpha Psi Brothers this Friday evening at our reunion. I suggest your consideration to attend our annual meeting, as does Bro. Michael, and to support our continued interest in OGD, Alumni support and our great history.

Brother Vito Costanza, Alpha Psi '86
Bro. Rob Magrino  - Thank You !!   |208.105.80.xxx |03-16-2009
Vito..great thread...It was truly an honor to break bread with my brothers again!!! many memories went through my head as I looked around that room friday night...many years had passed, but I felt that same feeling of brotherhood as I felt years ago having meetings in Andy's basement..Thanks to you & Andy for putting it together..
Brother Vito Costanza  - Alpha Psi Reunion   |98.77.44.xxx |03-16-2009
All Brothers,
I feel I must introduce this thread with a sincere appreciation and gratitude for the opportunity of fortune to reunite with my Alpha Psi Brothers in a fashion remarkebly consistent with that of our weekday meetings. We also recognize the difficulty with lifes commitments today, only reinforcing the commitment that only an OGD Brother can perhaps understand-for those unable to attend- opportunities will be intently available.
For all attending Brothers most whom I have not seen since secondary school, especially, but certainly not leastly, Brother Amato, Brother Mingrino, Brother Travers and Brother Cannicatti a sincere...thank you!
Brother Costanza, Alpha Psi 86

Bro. Andy Canicatti  - Alpha Psi Reunion     |76.108.89.xxx |03-15-2009
This past Friday the members of Alpha Psi from the mid to late eighties got together in NYC. It was unbelievable. Many of us haven't seen or spoken to each other in 20+ years, yet when we saw each other it was as if time stood still for that time. Each man spoke about who he is today and what Omega has meant to him. I know that many of the men who were there on Friday were positively molded by Omega and it has made us who we are today. I'll be the first to say that we didn't always make the right decisions, but I know that I learned from it. We have a special bond and the renewed interest in Omega, not just from Alpha Psi - should draw us to action. I want my 15 year old son to experience this too. Those who are interested should get together, maybe during the time of the annual meeting, and plan the future of Omega.

Brother Vito Costanza  -    |76.108.89.xxx |03-13-2009
Tomorrow is the 25 yr reunion we are having for our Alpha Psi Brothers at a private Manhattan social club. I am looking forward to seeing some of my brothers and trusted friends that I have not seen since the years when life and times were somewhat simpler yet no less rewarding. It's hard not to reflect back on each and everyone and not find some soul lifting occur.
It seems to me the sentiment of a greater reunion is under establishment.
Until then Brothers, we here at Alpha Psi will take the good fortune to enjoy the company of our Brothers.

This is a great website and I am happy to be in contact with all my fellow Brothers. I was so happy when I joined Omega in March of 1985 thru Beta Chi Chapter - best memories ever. Omega Gamma Delta will always be #1!!!!!!

I have fond memories of brother Al Fritz at the GC meetings in the city at the YMCA. What a great person. In my frame of reference guys like Al Fritz, Bob Tarlton and Mike D'Apolito made me want to be a GVP and love being part of Omega Gamma Delta. Thank you Brother Al!
Brother Thomas G. Ciapi  - E-mail to the Past Brothers     |76.108.89.xxx |03-03-2009
Brother Boog,
I'm sending you an e-mail about those great memories from the days in the city when we all gathered for the Grand Chapter meetings, and yes, I sure as **** remember when you guys shoved the bed up along the wall and the water in Quebec...
Put up your e-mail, I want to keep in touch with the both of you...
Love to know whats going on...
Brothers in Omega,

Brother James (IO) Ianniello   |76.108.89.xxx |03-03-2009
My prayers and thoughts go out to the Fritz family, and my Omega brothers. We lost a great Brother and leader of this fraternity.
Brother Powell from Beta Pi and Brother Ciapi from Beta Chi it is great to see that we all share the same memories and the visits from the New Jersey brothers to Long Island. I am sure we can say that the bonding we have comes from some of the talks we have had with Bro. Fritz. It may be time for another reunion.

Bro. Lee Powell (Boog) -  - Beta Pi Chapter   |76.108.89.xxx |03-02-2009
Wow! Sorry to here about Brother Fritz! I did not know he was ill, does anyone have any more details? Great hearing from Tom Ciapi of Beta Chi. Us Jersey guys (Baglio, Sullivan, Lowe) hung around with Beta Chi and Beta Psi brothers when we would visit Long Island. How many other fraternities can say that you have brothers in another state. Tom, remember the Quebec Convention in 1978? I remember 'Bear' (Ted Nocita) geting the pass key to the dorm rooms and immediately going to your room with a bucket of water, you were not smiling when he "woke" you up! Also, I recall talking to you before the bus ride and then I fell into a pile of suitcases. I am so glad we have these memories... RIP Al...

Brother Fritz..you will be missed. There is a special place you are heading to. You'll probably start an Omega Chapter there too. Not only was Bro Fritz a faithful member of the elite Omega Gamma Delta Fraternity.....he founded the elite Beta Chi (W. Hempstead) Chapter. I`m glad I got to see him at the Beta Chi 50th reunion. Brother Al Fritz will be remembered in future Fraternal Prayers. Brother Al Fritz once told me.."one of the greatest thing in my life is being an Omega Brother and the pride I get from founding the Beta Chi Chapter".
Rest in Peace Brother Fritz..."And always remember".

Brother Bill Wolf 1933   |98.77.67.xxx |02-20-2009
Dear Brothers,
I was a member of the Alpha Mu Chapter in Jamaica High School class of 1933. I am now 92 years old and and living in California. I still recollect many fond memories of my youth in Omega. I was chairman of the dance committee for several years. I remember we rented out two ballrooms in the Garden City Hotel, hired two bands and had several hundred people attend. It was so packed they had to set up bars in the hallway to accomodate all the revelers. It was a night to remember. Another time we rented the Starlight Room in the Hotel Aster in New York City. Our dances were so successful we were able to rent a clubhouse over a florist shop on 212 Street in Queens Village where we held all our meetings.

After graduation I joined the Army and acheived the rank of Lt. Colonel. If anyone wishes to contact me the webmaster has my e-mail. I will always fondly remember Omega Gamma Delta. Best wishes to all.

Bro. Thomas G. Ciapi '73     |76.108.89.xxx |02-18-2009
Chef Tee here, putting in his 2 cents on the website. It's great that it's up and running. BX should have their roster up soon.
Good to know we all respect, and treasure our early years. Reading some of these comments brings back lots of memories alone for me. Fumara from BX, Boog from Pompton Lakes, Google Eyes, from Valley Stream North, ****! You'll take these memories to your grave, and remember it. Fumara mentioned things that we will never forget. Nickie Simone, and Piggy Pagano drafted me for this elite Fraternity, and it's helped me into my older years as a KC.

Some of you Brothers know the true essence of our order. I live in Texas, but never lost the Brotherhood we all shared together on a tiny area around the LI area. I'm around, and about on the web, would be great to chat with some of you all. Fumara, sorry I missed the 50th, but I hear there might be a BX picnic this summer!
Peace,

To Brother Anonymous,
It's great to see an ACTIVE Brother check in with us. You guys deserve alot of credit to be able to exist without the support of your high school. As you can see from our website there is a multitude of history surrounding Omega and no matter what the school says you have alot to be proud of. I am glad to hear you have many athletes in your chapter. When I was an active 7 out of the 11 starters on the football team (including both Captains)were Omega, our school Class President-Omega and we did a charity event every month.
Keep inducting freshman and sophomores with high standards and you will keep your chapter going. Please keep us informed as to what you guys are up to and if there is anything we can do to help let us know.

Dear Brothers - I am amazed by this site and more amazed about what you guys are writing. I am an active brother of Beta Pi chapter and I have to remain anonymous because our school has an anti fraternity policy. Our principal has said if he finds out anyone caught being in a fraternity will be suspended from all school activities including sports and most of us play sports. We even have a few guys who are up for sport schalorships. We are a strong close bunch of guys and i just wanted to let you know we were here.
Bro. Andy Canicatti, Alpha Psi  - Hey Rob!   |76.108.89.xxx |02-07-2009
Hey Bro. Rob Magrino! Great seeing you here! I've been asking about you on facebook recently. What great memories and bonds created. It is amazing when I think about what we did, on our own, at such a young age. We were given a great model and awesome history to follow, and (for the most part) we tried to live up to that. We went through and learned a lot, in those teen years. I know that I am a better man for it. In March, the brothers from Alpha Psi during the mid to late eighties are getting together in NYC for dinner and drinks. We are limited to 25 and are currently at 20! Rob email me for the details, it would be great to see you again!

Thanks again Brother Mike for this awesome website. The older I get the more I realize how special the bond was that we created so many years ago.

Well thank you for your comment Brother. In all fairness though..we cannot falt members of other Frats for not feeling the Brotherhood we felt(and still feel) as members of such an Elite Fraternity. And like you said...their Frats were filled with loyalty also. Sometimes as I cruise around Daytona Beach on my Harley I wear an old Frat shirt...or sometimes I wear my pin... or as I display my Omega decal on my classic El Camino... sure enough there are times when a Brother will approach me & give me the handshake shocked there's still many of us out there. Or someone will come up to me & say.."hey I remember those guys..they were good guys"....or say.."hey I was in a Frat also..there were sure alot of you Omega guys" !!! Ahh..."as much as things change is as much as they remain the same" "AND ALWAYS REMEMBER" Sincerly..Brother Mike Fiumara..proudly of BX`70.
Bro. Rob Magrino   |76.108.89.xxx |02-07-2009

By no means does Omega have a lock on Brotherhood and I am sure there are many members of AOT that feel the same way about their fraternity as we do about ours. In many schools AOT and Omega existed side by side and the competition was healthy for both of us. Fred, I can relate to the challenge of your endeavor of writing this book whether it is about AOT or fraternites in general. I am sure your members will apprerciate the time and effort you put into your project. And we wish you success.

Brother Mike you represent the true spirit of our great fraternity. Here you are almost 40 years later and still take the time to express what Omega has meant to you. There are many members of our order, who like you, have the spirit of Omega memories past flowing strongly through their hearts. You make us all proud.

Mike Fiumara BX-W.Hemp.`70  - COMMENT TO FRED   |74.164.238.xxx |02-07-2009
FRED...WHAT YOU SAY IS FINE BUT WHY NOT JUST ADMIT YOU`RE WRITING A BOOK ABOUT AOT INSTEAD OF IMPLYING THERE IS A GENERAL BOOK COMMING OUT. OMEGA GAMMA DELTA HAS ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING RICHEST HISTORY AS FAR AS FRATERNITIES GO....I HOPE YOU MENTION THAT IN YOUR BOOK. WE HAD A WEST HEMPSTEAD CHAPTER (BETA CHI) REUNION LAST YEAR AND OUR LOYALTY WAS EVIDENT WHEN 125 BROTHERS ATTENDED.(AND THATS JUST ONE CHAPTER OUT OF OVER HUNDRED). WE STILL HAVE ACTIVE CHAPTERS....AND WE HAVE A VERY LARGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION....SURPRISINGLY LARGE. I HOPE YOUR BOOK DOESN'T JUST FOCUS ON "AOT". IF YOU`RE GOING TO TELL THE WHOLE STORY...TELL IT RIGHT. HAVING SAID THIS...I`M GLAD THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF WANTING TO KEEP THE MEMORY OF FRATERNITIES ALIVE. THANK YOU..OMEGA GAMMA DELTA BROTHER..MIKE FIUMARA.."BX" W. HEMPSTEAD..1970.

I like how you set up this site, although I was in AOT I always liked Omega as well. Both of my uncles were in the Oceanside chapter of Omega.

It may interest some of you to know that a book about fraternity life on Long Island from the 50's to the 90's was written and will be available this summer. Check out the books home page at http://www.fraternalbrotherhood.com

About Goomas....in the years of my active days, 82-86, I remember them calling us GOOMAS. Not knowing where it came from, we thought it was Guma's (our President, Fred Guma's name). That was nearly 20 years after you! Great tradition! Be well Brother Dominic

What a trip.......over 40 years have gone by and I am still looking for "gooma goomas" Brothers .... Let me explain - our high schools beloved gym teacher Mr. Norm Rowan gave us the nickname...he had a love/hate relationship with many of us...he loved the fact that we were the best athletes but didn't care for some of our antics and rituals ....so after one of our antics involving picking up a car and moving it (it was his!!)...he was pissed...he didn't actually know who did it (and many of us didn't either)...but it was done by some "radicals" from our brotherhood just for fun..... so anyway, he was yelling all about and during his rants he would say "it was a bunch of magooma gooma's who did it." At first we didnt know what he meant until he explained further -meaning us in Omega. So as the story swept the school.....we took on the nickname of "gooma's" or "gooma gooma's" and as time went on, he mellowed out and actually was proud of the thought of giving us the name...and when he picked teams for gym class he would say...... "and the gooma's over there" ... it became second nature...and to this day...when I see my old Brothers once or twice a year...we call each other "gooma's" - in memory of Mr. Norm Rowan....time for coffee..be well Brothers.

Dear Sirs & Brothers,
My memories of Omega will always be held fondly in my heart. The years gone by have made me reminiscent. I am proud to always remember my active years (1981 - 1985) with the Beta Psi chapter and was honored to be the chapter's president in 1983 & 1984.

My fraternal life is something I have always cherished. Life has, bitter sweetly, brought me far from those times and those brothers and away from one of the most formative alliances I had in my life. When I remember those things that were important to me growing up, it is my active years within Omega that I regard the most.

I was doing research about my cousin, Philip Devito (Omega 1976), and I when I came upon the listings of all of us at Beta Psi. While the later years are a little off, here and there, everyone is accounted for that I know of. Just seeing all of those names made me smile.

I just wanted you, the current keepers of the faith, to know what Omega has meant to me. If there is any way to get back in touch with anyone from Beta Psi, or any of the surrounding chapters, I would really like to rekindle those connections. If I can ever be of any service to the brotherhood again, please do me the honor of contacting me.

My colors may be faded, my ring was sadly stolen, but I will always be black & gold.

Fraternally, Yours in Omega Gamma Delta,
Brother Louis Scott Piazza

Hi Brothers, great to see some of the old faces, and remember the good times gone by. It is funny, I have lots of friends since I left high school, but there seems to be a comfort level that you always have with brothers. My wife still doesn't know our handshake and never will! Thanks for putting together a great site Mike. Mike, I have some good pics including a convention shot with brothers with the World Trade Center in the background from 1992. Let me know.

I joined Beta Chi chapter in W. Hempstead back in 1970...12 of us got in that night & were named "The Dirty Dozen". This website looks great & I see its getting better all the time.
I served as Chapter Historian back in the day & I had a great time doing it. The keg parties...the St. Thomas dances...the trips to Bear Mtn...& of course the Sororities !!! Man those were the greatest times. Ya cant duplicate those times anymore. Beta Chi had a great reunion...I went from Daytona Beach to W. Hempstead to attend & I gotta say...it was well worth it. Seeing all my Brothers will stay in my memory forever. Please take care my Brothers..from every chapter. Feel free to call me anytime..(386)316-3535.
