Recite "Invictus" - Answer: Invictus
By William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

,Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Members Vs Men - Answer: Members Versus Men
Bro. Walter H. Mazyck
The Greek Letter Societies among our group appear to have entered into a period
of mad competition for obtaining members. Pledges are increasing in numbers.
Scarcely a student on the college campus but wears a pledge pin or a frat pin. Are
the fraternities forgetting their original high standards? Can it be said that every
man who enters college is of Fraternity material? If in any place, Omega has
entered this mad race for members, pause and consider.
The value of our Fraternity is not in numbers, but in men, in real brotherhood.
Eight men thoroughly immersed in the true Omega spirit are far greater assets
than eighty with lukewarm enthusiasm.
