A Welcome from the Beta Rho Basileus

I bring you greetings by way of the Beta Rho chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. These greetings are built on the foundation of our ALMIGHTY.  Since the formation of this chapter in 1962, we have been dedicated to service to the brotherhood, schools, and communities.  We provide fun filled social activities which are conducive for families and friends to enjoy the brotherhood during sporting events, we help to provide scholarships and tutorial services for students in the surrounding areas, and we provide clothing and food for needy families.  The Beta Rho chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is definitely a driving force of Leflore County, the Mississippi Delta, and the state of Mississippi.  Let’s Network together!!!!
