The Fraternity looks with disfavor upon members who violate this policy by wearing paraphernalia with a canine image. Further, it forbids the wearing of any such paraphernalia at its meetings and advises non-members that persons so attired or who make such references do not represent the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. in their actions. Omega continued to flourish, largely because Founders Love, Cooper, Coleman and Just were men of the very highest ideals and intellect. The Founders selected and attracted men of similar ideals and characteristics. To this date, there are very few Americans whose lives have not been touched by a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
Omega has a rich heritage to be protected and celebrated.
