Manhood is our Foundation

First and foremost, Happy New Year’s to the brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. As I pondered on my goals and contributions to the fraternity for 2008 we decided to use my Information Technology expertise to bridge the gap from far and near. There are many other forms of communication but we decided that blogging would be best suited for me and any other brothers who see fit. If you would like to be a contributing writing please contact us.

The purpose of this blog is to provide newsworthy events, provoking thoughts, advertising of events, networking for the brotherhood and information that could help us in our everyday lives as a man. In doing so, there is a time and a place to express your opinions on various topics so use your better judgment and discerning spirit.

It is only right to start this blog from the roots and foundation of our organization and that would manhood, scholarship, perseverance and uplift. So in the next coming days we will address each principle.

Two definitions of manhood I read was:

1. The period in a male's life after he has transitioned from boyhood, at least physically, during puberty.

2. The composite of qualities, such as courage, determination, and vigor, often thought to be appropriate to a man.

True enough we could discuss many different aspects on manhood but I will let my blogging spirit lead me as we go. Nevertheless, we will address the above mention definitions as it relates to men and my walk of life.

We would not be who we are today if we didn’t have wise counsel growing up no matter where the counsel came from. It would be a tragedy for a young man’s transition from boyhood to manhood to be only physically and not mentally as well. I am speaking of responsibility, accountability and any other areas that one may matriculate in life to become the best man that you could possibly be.

We didn’t become of a member of this fraternity by happen stance. Someone thought of you to have such qualities of courage, determination, and vigor, often thought to be appropriate to a man. This fraternity would not be in existence today if Dr. Ernest Just, Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper and Frank Coleman and the brothers who followed who had the same qualities.

Being of liked mined individuals of similar ideas we should be able to get back to our foundation and continue to be a thriving force in our respective community. It is only right to share our wisdom amongst the brotherhood and in the lives of our young men.
This could be done in church, schools, business, etc. Do we live busy lives? Of course we do but we make time for, what we deem our desires and wants that are in our hearts. What I am saying is that the same fire you had before Omega that has turn into a blazing fire after Omega us it when the time permits.

It is my desire that this blog may enrich the lives of the members of our fraternity and the male species as a whole. Our fraternity was here before many and will be here after many. As a result, take the time to improve upon your manhood and educate our young men about manhood. Those young men may choose to have the same aspirations as you.
