Beta Omicron Celebrates 50 Years of Brotherhood

On Saturday, October 28, 2006, more than 200 alumni, students and guests convened in Natchitoches, Louisiana, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Beta Omicron chapter at Northwestern State University. The weekend was the culmination of months of planning by a small group of alumni and students and began with optional golf outings for alumni on Friday afternoon. Later in the afternoon, alumni joined Northwestern State University officials to dedicate a clock donated as a gift to the university in commemoration of Beta Omicron’s 50 years on campus. The alumni raised over $13,000 for the gift.

On Saturday alumni held their housing corporation and alumni chapter meetings, before tailgating and attending the Homecoming football game. Later in the evening, a celebration banquet was hosted to recognize the special traditions of brotherhood that have existed at Beta Omicron for half a century. Keynoting the banquet was National Treasurer Mark F. Jacobs, Delta Psi (Texas-Arlington). Calling on his experience as a Senior Vice President of GE Capital, Jacobs challenged the student leaders of Beta Omicron to deliver a Pi Kappa Phi experience that matches what others read about when they see the fraternity. Joining Jacobs at the event were Foundation Chairman Allen Woody, Xi (Roanoke); fellow trustee and celebration coordinator, David Morgan, Beta Omicron (Northwestern State); NSU President Dr. Randy Webb and mayor of Natchitoches, Wayne McCullen.

Beta Omicron Alumnus Inducted into Pi Kappa Phi Hall of Fame

In July 2006, hundreds of Pi Kappa Phi’s from across the nation convened in Forth Worth, Texas for the fraternity’s 50th Supreme Chapter. Here, David D. Morgan, Beta Omicron (Northwestern State), was inducted into the Pi Kappa Phi Hall of Fame for his work in the field of business. A leader in the insurance industry for over 30 years, Morgan shared his experience as the first in his family to attend college and how joining Pi Kappa Phi, becoming archon, and choosing to lead set his life on a path of success. In his acceptance speech, Morgan spoke from the heart and how he had invested so much into his fraternity, but kept getting more and more out of it. He closed his remarks memorably by saying, “at some point in the past you got into Pi Kappa Phi, now, let Pi Kappa Phi get into you.”
