It is the upmost pleasure to announce to you some of Beta Omicron's accomplishments at Tennessee State University. On November 2 1 , 1979, 25 additional Brothers were initiated into our dear fraternity. This makes our chapter 38 Brothers strong and financial. With the increased size of our chapter, we here at Beta Omicron never falter when it comes to hard work and dedication for our dear fraternity. A prime example, is that we are well on our way towards our $500 donation for the million dollar fund drive. We believe strongly that we, as Alphamen, must be first of all, servants of all, and together we must transcend all. Since the majority of our Brothers maintain a 3.0 average or above on a 4.0 scale, its no wonder that our chapter dominates the major offices on our campus. These include the following: President of Student Government Assoc, Chairman of Student Election Commission, President of Pan-Hellenic (Standing, left to right): Brothers Charles Moore, Robert H. Thompson, Blanton Mitchell, Jerome Lofton, Charles Morton, Nathaniel Hankerson, Willie Allen. (Sitting, left to Council, right): President of TSU Chicago and Memphis Clubs, President of Honors Brothers Floyd Lyons, Leonard Foster, Ronald De Hart, Raleigh Rawls, Esq., Nathaniel Program, President Kappa Delta Phi Greene, and James De Hart, Esq., of Zeta Alpha Lambda.
