Omega Delta Phi - Haiti Earthquake Relief

Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, Inc. and it's National Executive Council and Board of Directors extends their thoughts and prayers with the people of Haiti who were profoundly affected by this tragic earthquake, but also with members of the Greek community who may have family members or friends in Haiti.

Now more than ever, Haiti and the surrounding areas affected by the January 12th, 2010 7.0 magnitude Earthquake, will need all the help they can receive from the international community. Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, Inc. has always prided itself on being a conscientious supporter of selfless service and it is in this vein that we implore our members to help do their part in providing relief for Haiti's earthquake victims. While members may not have the opportunity to initially participate in hands-on service in Haiti, there are several outlets for members  to provide financial support:

1.) Visit http://www.whitehouse.gov/HaitiEarthquake for information on how the United States is responding to the earthquake crisis in Haiti.

2.) To assist the American Red Cross, members can text "HAITI" to number 90999 and have $10 added to their wireless bill to go to Haiti earthquake relief. (Donations to the American Red Cross are tax-deductible.)

3.) Visit  http://www.usaid.gov/helphaiti for updates on the Haiti earthquake crisis and for any possible volunteer opportunities.

In the coming days and weeks, we must become actively involved in assistance efforts. Based on the recent statistics regarding the death toll from the Haiti earthquake, the need will be great and ongoing. We urge our membership to continue generously offering compassion and resources to help alleviate the great suffering that so many are experiencing from this disaster.

Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, Inc. is an intercollegiate fraternity founded at Texas Tech University on November 25th, 1987. This Brotherhood was founded in order to provide, to ANY man, a diverse fraternal experience which coincides with a higher education. Omega Delta Phi has a proven track record of innovation in relation to serving and leading the community. We teach our members that the impact of involvement is powerful. To always strive to eliminate the negative stereotypes of fraternities by giving back to those less fortunate and becoming a part in the building of a more positive society.

Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, Inc. is a nationally insured fraternal organization and is a member organization in the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC).

Christopher Ochoa addresses public and makes official announcement of candidacy for Jacinto City council

Jacinto City, TX, March 13, 2009: Yesterday evening at approximately 6:00 p.m. during the Jacinto City Council Meeting, Christopher Ochoa delivered an address to the public, which included the official announcement of his candidacy for Jacinto City Council, Position No. 4.

Christopher Ochoa began his address to the public by recognizing the city’s past and recent achievements. Ochoa paid homage to the city that he has called home for his entire life and the influence it has had on his growth as an individual. Next, Ochoa discussed his experiences as a college student at the University of Texas in Austin and the lessons he took away from his involvement in multiple organizations there that emphasize community involvement and volunteer opportunities. Organizations that Ochoa held prominent leadership positions with include the Hispanic Business Student Association (HBSA), the University of Texas Leadership Board (UTLB), and the Omega Delta Phi Fraternity (UT-Austin Chapter). Through his involvement with these organizations, Ochoa not only further learned the value of community involvement and contribution, but also gained substantial and valuable leadership experience. Ochoa’s involvement with the Omega Delta Phi Fraternity originated his idea of bringing the Young Knights Community Mentor Program to Jacinto City.
