Second District Historical Sketches 1947-1973
As we sit here at this Annual Conference site and look forward to the Grand Conclave in Detroit, we have a better understanding of the question asked in November, 1911: "Why We Are Here?" This question was written in the minutes of the First Conclave...WE ARE HERE TO FULFILL THE DESTINY THAT GOD AND OUR FOUNDERS SET FORTH NOVEMBER 17th, 1911 and by the FOUNDERS OF THE SECOND DISTRICT AS THEIR DREAMS FOR STRONG OMEGA UNFOLD.
In 2007, Omega and the Mighty Second District lost one of its most prolific figures. Brother Eddie Taylor served Omega since 1928. As a young member of one of the fraternity's oldest undergraduate chapters, Bro. Taylor went on to serve Omega in many capacities. Awarded for his persistence and ever resounding efforts, Bro. Taylor will be missed in the District. In September of 2007, the District Information Technology committee displayed a special page on the website commemorating Brother Taylor's service to Omega. We are stronger because of Bro. Taylor and his spirit will forever live in the Mighty Second District. This paragraph is added to the District History captured by Artifacts Committee.
We, the History and Artifacts Committee of the Second District take this opportunity to THANK YOU for reading this report and we invite you and your guests to visit and observe our History Display Room. This will give you an opportunity to observe some of the events that have contributed to the growth of the Second District, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
We thank the Trenton Chapter, Delta Upsilon Chapter for making the arrangements for the Display Room and services to this Committee. Most of all we thank our District Representative, Richard Johnson, for creating this committee and to the 1st Vice District Representative, George McKinney for this guidance and to David Wharton for making this document available to the conference.
