As a Man of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, I respect your personal decision. One thing that I tell Ques.. Always be yourself.. I see you did what you thought was best for you as man.. If removing yourself from Omega Psi Phi is required for your personal growth, you did the best thing.. But if you have any more paraphernalia you forgot to toss out, pass it down to me.. Even if you don’t, you will forever be my brother

[@feliciaedmond2776]

As a young college student in the 90s I tried to get in a sorority and I wanted it so badly.. I was dealing with self esteem issues and my father had passed away. My widowed mother and I came up with the $500 at the time. Purchased a suit for the interview and this was a lot for us at the time. When I got that rejection letter, it hurt so much. at the time. I was in a backslidden state and I wish I had been focused on my relationship with Christ rather than seeking acceptance from a sorority. I always wish they had returned the money to me as a scholarship because we were struggling having lost my father. I still only blame myself. It took time for me to heal from that experience and finally accept that it was okay not to be in a sorority. First time I told this in the open. I am now free from the regret and condemnation.

No, his actions, or lack thereof, do nothing to explain the angry, hate-filled commentary from other greeks that also claim to be Christians. I get this, "I am an unapologetic Christian, but f*** you for leaving Omega!" vibe from a lot of folks on here.

[@PantherJM15]

Rashard Hollis Yes they did! Where do you think it all came from? There was judging, drama, hazing, secrets and partying amongst all founders in ALL Greek letter organizations. These organizations were created out of temptations of the flesh and a want to possess worldly things, and to have power over people. All the good things are only seen externally, but internally, it’s an entirely different world alot of people know absolutely nothing about. It’s sinister.

Im in middle school, I will be a freshman in a few months. At my years at my school, most of the teachers and staff there are in a greek letter organization. At first, I wanted to be in a sorority. But once I asked my mom and pastor about, I reailzed my mistake. And my teacher is apart of the Omega Psi Phi. He tries convince other students to join these organizations, and he tried to whoop me and my friend with a paddle, which is included in initiation. And I done alot of research and im writing a essay exposing the truth about the sins that my teacher commited. I pray that they will reverence Elohim and repent.

@Izzie Storm's World the frats have devils too. They hide behind charity, education and pseudo spiritually.

[@galenmuhammad6910]

And that's MY point: It's an interpretation that denouncers are making. Then they judge others who WON'T denounce their organization!! I have no qualms with a person turning in their shingle, pin, sorority/fraternity property and walking away. It's those who go overboard publishing their FORMER organization's ritual(s) and misjudging those who serve God who REMAIN active with their organizations. They expect us to contort into a pretzel around the extreme interpretation of the Bible that they've manufactured. Do you, boo....as the younguns say. Imma do me....as long as Allah permits.

Amen!! SO happy for you! You don't understand how much I agree with that question that you asked yourself "where are the brothers at? where are the men at", I asked myself, too!! You did it, the Holy Spirit gave you the power, Jesus is smiling on you and will continue to empower you for anything that comes. You already have victory, in Jesus name! Be blessed, praying for you!

[@Coolmike19]

This so beautiful to my Brother christ come out from the demonic fraternity. Because I went through the same thing with kappa. I mean as soon as I cross over I felt this demonic strong hold and I was like I got to denounce this in Jesus name So I been there and done that and that was over 40 years ago. So I'm so glad you come out and join the everlasting life of Jesus. May you be bless from the Most High God.

SHAHEED, IGNORE THE NOISE AND LISTEN TO THE SIGNAL. I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU. John 15:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23‭, ‬25‭-‬27 NLT “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures : ‘They hated me without cause.’ “But I will send you the Advocate -the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me. And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry.

This is nothing more than grandstanding and self imposed martyrdom. There are plenty of Christian men in these organizations. He didn't have to do it like this if he wanted to step away he could have done it quietly. Out of respect for his lb's , his chapter etc. We as Christians are not perfect do we denounce our faith because changes need to be made?The hypocrisy here is insane how many bad things are done in the name of Christ. Our ancestors were enslaved by Christians. Do we throw the whole faith away because of some people who abuse it. This man betrayed his brothers because he wanted to score points with the so called Christian Community. Why couldnt he follow Christ's example and encourage his brothers. How can you be the salt of the earth if you are not leading others to Christ?Smh

Of course there are many Christians who pledge. But this is his conviction. Everyone’s convictions aren’t the same because everyone isn’t in the same place in their spiritual walk. I know others that chose not to pledge due to similar convictions. Sometimes conviction comes after you’ve made a decision. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I've noticed that many people that do not believe in God go out of their way to mock and start arguments over a God they don't believe exist. And then attack the beliefs of people they feel are crazy. Why is that? I have worked in State Forensic Mental Health for some time. To argue and put that much energy in discrediting people you feel are crazy is crazy. It takes a loosed screw person to argue with someone they think is insane.

I’m not Greek and I’m not necessarily a practice Christian, but my experience in the outside is - I was always confused by these organization bc although I saw the charity work, I also FELT the exclusion. As black people the collective effort is important and when you say, no you can’t be apart of this good that we are apart of, or we aren’t going to share this good information bc you aren’t a apart of, I feel like that’s detrimental to the entire black body and the entire Christian body.

Ok so this is not denouncing the frat due to his lack of respect or misplaced expectations of it. He denounced the frat because he felt that it was interfering with his relationship with God and for that I stand with him. As a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity I'll say God comes before everything, including the frat! Now here's the kicker... Omega is supposed to make you a better version of yourself! Joining the frat shouldn't serve as a distraction from your faith unless you were already distracted to begin with. You should be using the frat to strengthen your faith by sharing the word within your new found connection. After all, Omega Psi Phi fraternity, Inc. were found by men of christian faith!

[@TexasGent3808]

Unfortunately the true meaning of what the founders intended the fraternities to stand for has been watered down to oppress and degrade each other. I constantly questioned... why must we subject ourselves to physical violence when the founders didn't do this to themselves?!?!

I know this is a two weeks old comment and I might be late, but Bro your not making Sense. Why do blacks feel the need to join these "Greek" organizations when we are not Greek at all. Judging by your name, you are an Igbo man. Igbos have been rumored to be the true Israelites as many of our cultural practices mirror the ones foretold in the Bible. YOU are a big contradiction because your supposed to be serving the Most High and not pledging to a foreign fraternity that names itself after the Greek alphabet. That makes zero sense. So yeah, that's how I feel.

I tried to join a sorority many times in college and in grad school because I was seeking acceptance in man but God blocked me from joining every single time. I didn’t understand it at the time and I felt some type of way but now I’m so thankful that God was watching over me and blocked me from going down a path I would have regretted. I recently learned how demonic and wrong fraternities and sororities are, I didn’t see it until God opened up my eyes to see and understand it... I pray that God blesses you and uses you as a vessel to help others to come out of that stronghold.
