Manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift are the four cardinal principals in which the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. was founded upon. Living true to these principals, members of the Kappa Beta (Rust College) chapter of Omega Psi Phi went to Holly Springs Junior High School on May 10 to motivate students to do well on their state tests. Passing the state test is critical to all students in the state of Mississippi. If students do not pass this test they cannot graduate.
The motivational program began with a performance by the Junior High School band. Following the band was a speech by Braque Talley, and stepping were James Roberson, and Hakim Amen. The students really enjoyed the support given by the Kappa Beta chapter.
“It is great to see college students giving back to the community,” said Principal Louise Sanders-Tate.
Members of Kappa Beta say they plan to continue to build this relationship with the schools and the community.
“I stress to my guys that it is of the upmost importance to lift, while climbing,” said Clarence Smith,’76, registrar and Kappa Beta advisor. “We (Omega Men) work hard to become successful, but it is all in vain if we don’t give back.”
