DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CONRADO B. MORGAN

Greetings Brothers, Family, and Friends of the Third District,

I remain steadfast and honored to serve as the Third District Representative where it all started (The Birthplace of Omega) by our founders, The Honorable Brothers Dr. Ernest E. Just, Dr. Oscar J. Cooper, Bishop Edgar A. Love, and Professor Frank Coleman. The Supreme Basileus gave them the vision for the fraternity to be built and rooted: “Friendship.” The vision continues to be validated by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc’s motto, “Friendship Is Essential To The Soul.” The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., the “FIRST” International Black Greek Letter Fraternity to be incorporated at a Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Chapters throughout the District held their annual Achievement Week events and presented various awards to the Brothers, Citizens, and Essay contest winners. We are truly blessed. I want to extend my congratulations to all the awardees and sincerely thank you for your service to the communities. With your hard work, commitment, and leadership, a significant amount of activities were possible and allowed us to be a blessing to tens of thousands of residents throughout Washington, D.C. and Virginia.

We were able to have an in-person celebration and rededication ceremony on the campus of Howard University, where it all began 111 years ago on November 17, 1911. It was great for us to fellowship together, as Brothers came from near and far. Brother Grand Basileus brought an inspiring message to the hundreds of brothers who filled the room. Brother Former Grand Basileus Ray facilitated the rededication, as Brothers were enthusiastically engaged in every word spoken and the true Omega spirit that filled the room.

Our Fatherhood Initiatives and Mentoring Continue to do phenomenal work, as demonstrated by the $20,000 donation to the Third District to support our programs to uplift, lead, and motivate our youth to achieve their aspirations and goals.

During the season of giving (Thanksgiving and Christmas), chapters across the District worked together and collaborated with other community-based organizations to feed and provide toys and gifts to tens of thousands of residents and families in need. Because of this generous donation of time, money, and resources, families were blessed by not worrying about Thanksgiving and Christmas meals or toys for their youth.

Let’s not forget our Voting Registration, Education, and Mobilization (VREM) efforts. We did an outstanding job getting to the polls and participating in the voting program. Please note we must remain vigilant in our duties relating to the VREM program, reminding the community residents and continuously remembering that every vote counts!

May God continue to bless you, your families, the Third District, and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. Our prayer is for all to be comforted and remain safe and healthy. Friendship Is Essential

to the

Soul,

Brother Conrado B. Morgan 30th Third District Representative
