Our Omega Mu brothers who served in the military are cherished and constant fraternal friends, and we would like to say thank you for the steadfast, purposeful commitment you made to our nation to defend those four freedoms we all believe in: “Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.” For those brothers who were killed in defense of these freedoms, they will always occupy a consecrated place in our linked fraternal heart because they exemplify the idea of superlative commitment, strength, and fortitude for the good to the end itself. The greatness of their collective purpose and will, on our nation’s behalf, will never be forgotten. By their “clear-eyed faith and fearless heart,” these brothers have left us a fraternal legacy that echoes what we often say about Omega Mu Fijis: “Perseverance and determination are omnipotent.” Their code of integrity, courage, duty, responsibility, and self-sacrifice on behalf of our nation is a powerful legacy that we will always be proud of as Omega Mu Fijis. 

​Whether it was at New Orleans, Red River, Fort Blakely, Marianna, San Juan Hill, Santiago de Cuba, Chateau-Thierry, Verdun, El Guettar, Elba, Monte Della Vedetta, the Battle of the Bulge, Rabaul, Inchon, Pusan, Chosin Reservoir, Pork Chop Hill, Hue, Easter Offensive, Phu Cat, The Iron Triangle, Hamburger Hill, la Drang Valley, Bien Hoa, Khe Sanh, Rumaila,  Al-Batin, Medina Ridge, Kabul, Kandahar, our Omega Mu brothers have demonstrated devotion to duty in defense of freedom and liberty. They are the stability of our nation, and we, the Omega Mu brotherhood, revere, honor, and salute their persevering and determined spirit within our great nation and our historic brotherhood. We will always honor the heroism of all of our brothers who have served in the armed forces from the Civil War to the present. Thank you. ​

​The first father, son, grandson fraternal
​lineage in our history
Picture

We are proud and grateful for the many Sires and Sons in our Omega Mu history: Chaplin, Davis, Flint, Garland, Haskell, Hitchings, Keith, Mitchell, Mullen, Smith, and Williams. To be sure, all of the families are inextricably woven into our fraternal history. Above all else, it is a proud heritage, and the love and goodwill that these families have exhibited toward the Omega Mu brotherhood, through many generations, has been meaningful, a fraternal vision of unity that causes one to smile at that historic connectedness. Intrinsically, that is what fraternity is all about: family, a very large family. Our Omega Mu family is a long-lived family at the University of Maine. And, in the end, in the unfolding of our fraternal history since 1874, the Martin family from Fort Fairfield, Maine, shines the brightest in their historical importance for our Omega Mu brotherhood. Nelson, Bertrand, and George Martin were the first father, son, grandson fraternal lineage in our history. And thought we sincerely admire and honor every family legacy in our fraternal history, the Martin legacy, in truth, is genuinely incomparable in our history. Their fraternal legacy goes significantly deeper than being the first three generation family legacy in being Omega Mu Fijis. Their combined Q.T.V.-Phi Gamma Delta story comprise a wonderful family chapter in our Omega Mu history because they were each present at defining periods in our history. To begin with, they each articulated our durable, forward-focused character during times change. Nelson H. Martin, ’76, was present at our inspirational beginning when the first Q.T.V. Chapter Hall was completed in 1876, and he was, undoubtedly, one of the Q.T.V. brothers who helped build our first fraternal home. Bertrand C. Martin, ’01, was part of the first initiatory class of Phi Gamma Delta brothers at the University of Maine in 1899. He signed the oath imitation oath on December 8th, 1899. Just as his father lived in the first Q.T.V. Chapter Hall, Nelson may have lived in the last Q.T.V. Chapter Hall, but he certainly lived in the first Phi Gamma Delta House. George, ’27, quite possibly may have been a pledge when the first Phi Gamma Delta house was destroyed by fire on April 4th, 1924, and he certainly was one of the first brothers to walk through the front door of the newly built Castle a year later. ​

We all continue to believe in the indispensable good, the overwhelming good, of our fraternal life and, in turn, the Sires and Sons of our Omega Mu brotherhood remain an integral, enduring and living testimony to that historic fact. We - all Omega Mu brothers - will always remember all of our generationally-linked Omega Mu families and their constitutive importance in our proud history. Personally speaking, their family connectivity in participating in our fraternal traditions is always wonderful to see. I am very proud of that, and our Sires and Sons tradition has continued with the following families: Cote, D’Antonio, Fassett, Foster, Hanson, Hersey, Hill, Hussey, Leet, Madeira,  McIntire, Morton, Schnauck, and Stewart. In conclusion, our historic foundation is strong due to generations of hard work; consequently, our Omega Mu brotherhood remains the greatest brotherhood at the University of Maine. In fraternally practical and theoretical terms, dogmatically asserted, it always has been, and it is that simple, and that legacy continues with the present undergraduates living in the Castle, a proud, coherent narrative for 147 years. The continuing beauty of the past and the present, and with confident assurance we go into our future. Perge.

Maine Masque

Over the years, our Omega Mu brothers have been involved in many Maine Masque productions, including Charles L. Pfeiffer, Malcolm E. Fassett, Harry Lovely, Nathan F. True, Fernando T. Norcross, Theodore W. Haskell, Charles E. Stickney, Robert Irvine, William Demant, Evans B. Norcross, J. Richard Buck, Willam Keith, Harry P. Carle, Howard L. Farwell, Jacob M. Horne, Jr.; Bryant M. Patten, Sumner Waite, Norman D. Carlisle, Paul F. Slocum, Clifford H. George, Ernest F. Andrews, Robert S. Hussey, Elwood D. Bryant, Howard J. Stagg, III; Stanley T. Fuger, John T. Clark, John W. Ballou, George R. Berger, Robert D. Parks, Arthur B. Conner, Louis H. Thibodeau, Henry S. Simms, among many, many others! Praise for them is merited. Exhibiting diligence and discipline, these Omega Mu brothers, through many decades, brought a joyful vibrancy and communal vitality to the University of Maine community. What a superb gift to give the community, rich, alive, and inspiring. Significantly, many of our Omega Mu brothers were a driving force in many of the plays because of the impactful, leading roles that they often played, luring and capturing the imagination of the audience as they moved and glided, with apparent ease and poise, on the theater boards. By all reports in the Maine Campus and the Bangor Daily, their performances were quit affecting. The quality and depth of their disciplined art form joyfully enriched the lives of countless numbers of people. 

Our Omega Mu Maine Masque theater brothers, just like our athlete brothers, are an enriching testament to what it means to be a fraternity brother in Omega Mu, and we are proud of their dedication, creativity, and commitment in adding such an important historic angle in our fraternal history at the University of Maine. They exemplify the good of what it means to be a positive part of the university community, and in doing so showing the good of fraternal culture. Attending a play is a special, spirited experience, and we are proud of the legacy of these brothers for their unbending commitment to the beautiful creative art and discipline of Maine Masque theater productions. These Maine Masque theater brothers make us proud, and their legacy in Maine Masque history continues to shine. They, too, like our Omega Mu athlete brothers, continue to enrich and strengthen our perseverant and determined fraternal identity, 149 years strong.
