About 10,000 Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated members recently visited Tampa, Florida, for the 84th Grand Conclave. This event is the organization’s bi-annual national conference. Members across the country gather to conduct the fraternity’s business. The week-long celebration saw fraternity brothers do community service, host a youth symposium, donate banned books, and support local businesses. The Pi Iota Chapter of Omega Psi Phi hosted this year’s Grand Conclave. They wanted to leave the right mark on Tampa and make this a conclave with a purpose.
“One of the highlights for me as a local president was how we were intentional with undertaking this activity. We fed over 300 families, and we collected 8400 banned books. When omega shows up in the community, folks see black excellence,” said Al Sheriff, President of the Pi Iota Chapter.
