Omega Delta Phi, Inc. Epsilon Chapter - Brooklyn College |
Behold the Fraters of ODPhi - Epsilon Chapter.
The hottest fraternity Brooklyn College ever saw.
The Original Omega Delta Phi Fraternity was founded in 1903, as Alpha Chapter, at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, in New York City. The State of New York granted Articles of Incorportation to the Fraternity in 1913. Other Chapters soon were formed at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, New York University, and Brooklyn College.
Epsilon Chapter of Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, flourished within the ivy covered walls of Brooklyn College of the City University of New York from its founding in 1933 until the late seventies.
In the winter of 1975, the fraternity took in it's last pledge class.
Today, its alumni number about 150, most still living in the metropolitan NY-NJ area, with a few scattered from Rhode Island to California. All still share a bond that was forged decades ago at the
cafeteria tables, the rooms, or in the Dean's office.
Today, our members are teachers, lawyers, doctors, scientists, social workers, engineers, policemen and firefighters, to mention a few professions.
We have served our country in peace and in war. Our brothers helped put the first men on the moon. Some fought in the Vietnam War, while others fought at home to bring that war to an end.
Omega Delta Phi was a tough fraternity to pledge. The three basic tenets of pledging were; humiliation, harrassment, and physical pain. In spite of it all, those who survived the ten weeks of pledging, returned safely from their Hell Night voyage, and got to put on that black & gold sweater, knew that they were the best
........ They were FRATERS of ODPhi..
To learn more about the early days of the fraternity, read this chapter from Cooper Union's 1937 issue of The Cable.

Today, many Fraters still get together at the annual Vic Kane Black & Gold Memorial Dinner, to relive fond memories, and blame each other for their failed lives or current mental conditions.
2008 Bacchanal Date setAny ODPhi wannabees wishing to pledge the fraternity should meet the High Priest of Pain in the alley behind the restaurant at 10PM. There's no need to bring a paddle, as HE WILL HAVE ONE! (él habla español) |
