13th International District Newsletter

Greetings Brothers of the Tenacious 13th International District, Happy Holidays to each and everyone of you. It is that time of the year where we take time for thanks and to spend time with our friends and family.

On behalf of the Brother Dr. Carl Bampoe, District Director of Public Relations and Brother Dr. Ronnvey Price, 13th District Public Relations Chairman, attached is our 13th District newsletter. These Brothers worked tireless to put this together and I am grateful to see this come to a fruition. Many thanks to these good Brothers. I also want to thank those Chapters who submitted articles for our newsletter. We know all of our articles cannot be posted in the Oracle, but this newsletter is another way of showing our global footprint across the world.

I would ask that all chapters continue to submit articles for our newsletter as well as for the Oracle. We got some unfinished business and we will continue to be in the spotlight across the fraternity.

Thank you my Brothers for your service and steadfast support to the 13th International District.

Fraternally,
Bro. Tray George
Eleventh 13th District Representative

Esteemed Members of the Tenacious 13th District,


I extend my greetings in the name of the Supreme Basileus of the Universe. I trust this message finds you and your families in good health.

Veterans Day, originally recognized as Armistice Day, serves as a commemoration of the conclusion of World War I. This day was initially observed on November 11, 1919, to pay tribute to veterans and mark the end of hostilities at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. In 1954, its designation was officially changed to Veterans Day, honoring all U.S. military veterans. It stands as a day of recognition and appreciation for the sacrifices and contributions of those who have served in our armed forces to safeguard our nation's security and freedom.

On this occasion of Veterans Day 2023, the 13th District Military Affairs Committee wishes to shine a light on one of our remarkable Brothers and Veterans, Brother Lt. Col (R) Ron Walker. We come together to pay tribute and express our profound gratitude to Brother Walker for his selfless dedication to our nation. Please find his comprehensive biography attached to gain insights into his illustrious military journey, as well as his dedication to serving the Brothers of the Tenacious 13th International District and his notable achievements within the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

Yours in Omega,
Bro. Ra’Shad Patrick
13th District Military Affairs Chair
Keeper of Finance, Phi Gamma Gamma Chapter

2023 13th International District
Talent Hunt Winner

Ms. Liyana Roque

Sigma Gamma Gamma Chapter
Okinawa, Japan


The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Talent Hunt idea was created in the Fraternity's Sixth District (North and South Carolina) in 1945, and the first District Talent Hunt Program was held in Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 19th, 1946. The need for such a program was born out of the unequal opportunity afforded to some American youths to develop and give full expression to their talents. The original statement of the Talent Hunt Idea included this expression: "Creative and outstanding capacities in any honorable activity should be eligible for consideration." In presenting the first public program, the displays of talent were limited to the field of music.

Theta Rho Chapter Supports the Spring Sports Program at Hohenfels High School
Hohenfels, Germany

Theta Rho Chapter, Thirteenth International District of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. – Stuttgart, Germany – On February 11, 2023, Brother Darryle Albert, Thirteenth District First Vice District Representative (HHS Assistant Girls’ Basketball Coach), and Brother Antoine Reed, Thirteenth District Social Action Committee Chairman in support of the chapters Fatherhood and Mentoring and Social Action initiative made a financial donation presentation to the Hohenfels High School girls’ basketball team spring sports program. The chapter donation of $600 was in direct support of providing funding to assist the girls’ basketball team with their trip to play in the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) spring sports EUROS Championship Tournament held in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The objective is to provide continual support of our young people to encourage, uplift and support their social, and emotional wellness through their participation in sporting activities which provide a sense of a return to normalcy after theirs and the world experience of a most recent global pandemic. The brothers of Theta Rho knew it was imperative that the chapter’s focus be of a direct connection to ensuring that student athletes achieve their goals as they adapted to a return to live sporting events and activities. The brothers of Theta Rho recognized that sports is a unifying language for students, the DODEA overseas school system, military connected members, their families, community stakeholders and our German host nation. Most importantly as men of Omega and as fathers, the brothers of Theta Rho recognized the need to reenergize a collective responsibility to engage and encourage All young people by reassuring them that nothing is beyond their reach in life if they believe in themselves and utilize all available support systems at their disposal.
