Pause for a minute and consider the two fraternal plaque near the front door of the Castle. Typically we race through the front door without noticing them, much less giving them any considered thought. They are just there. Strictly speaking, they two go together and speak volumes about who we have been for 147 years, honestly and authentically. They are mutually enriching fraternal testaments, a communion, about our historic fraternal home and our long-linked historic brotherhood. Hence, there is a historic rightness about their placement at the front of the Castle. They announce our unifying identity as a brotherhood. They are, figuratively speaking, like sentries over the Castle. Combined, one could say that they are a witness, a combined historic witness, of our oneness as the most historic fraternal brotherhood at the University of Maine. Let’s think about that. The Castle represents the beautiful communal dimension of our greatness, and the other represent the unwavering brotherly dimension of our greatness. Combined, both speak to our unique greatness at Maine. They speak to how special our fraternal home is, and how special our Omega Mu brotherhood is at the University of Maine. One plaque commemorates the architectural importance of our Tudor-inspired Castle, and the second honors an extraordinary fraternal brother, Hosea Buck, a mentor, friend, and unflinching, tireless leader who helped shepherd our brotherhood, as well the University of Maine, in many ways until he died in 1937. These two plaques, along with the commemorative plaques and brotherly memorials inside the Castle, speak to fraternal continuity, fraternal cooperation, fraternal courage, fraternal energy, fraternal dignity, fraternal loyalty, fraternal caring, fraternal generosity, fraternal spirit, fraternal family, fraternal triumphs, fraternal achievements, fraternal vision, and fraternal fortitude at the University of Maine. These qualities, through most of our combined fraternal history, have created a good fraternal portrait. These qualities matter most in the end, and they have been our blood and marrow, heart and mind, since our founding. They have all created our lifelong pride, and we remain steadfast and positive about our future as we approach our 150th and 125th fraternal anniversaries in 2024. We have forged a very distinct fraternal path at the University of Maine, and our fraternal longevity, our fraternal success, did not come by chance. Sustained success is never achieved by chance in anything in life. It is only by individual and collective responsibility and determination that success is sustained, and our fraternal legacy of success will continue at the University of Maine. The future holds beautiful things for Omega Mu, and our history proves it. Let's think about that! We are all keenly aware of our history at the University of Maine, and we are, rightly so, proud of that history. Upon that fact there is no debate, and I am unequivocally sure that we are all thankful for whatever motivation, coincidence, circumstance, brought all of us to the front door of the Castle to start the pledging-initiatory journey to become Omega Mu brothers. In any case, thank God you went through the front door to become Omega Mu brothers, and in so doing becoming part of the historic lore of our fraternal brotherhood at Maine, steady and true since 1848, 1874, 1899. And as such, we are unique, and that is a wonderful testament to our collective perseverance and determination. Be proud of that, that is all. Happily, we walked through the front door of the Castle. Happily, we all lived together in the Castle. It was a fun, life-enhancing experience, Yet, happily, and with deep gratitude, we continue to return to the Castle to see life-long friends. Our Omega Mu brotherhood and the Castle, a great union through life. A simple truth that started with a simple Q.T.V. catchphrase: “Enjoyment, sociability, and the best interests of the brothers through life.” Our fraternal continuity is strong because of these simple ideals. In various modified forms, traditions, rites, and events have defined the fraternal culture and fabric of our brotherhood since our Q.T.V. years, and they guided our life in the Castle. Good traditions created our Omega Mu culture and our stated values and beliefs. Some traditions and events were more formal and charming, while others were playful and entertaining, but they both were mutually enriching and clearly showed the soul of our brotherhood. A Friday fraternal afternoon pilgrimage to the Oronoka; playing football on the front lawn on a beautiful fall day; sleeping late on a Saturday morning in the RAM; reading lyrics at dinner; the imaginative, creative thought in creating fun snow sculptures; jumping with happy-go-luck fraternal élan to a tree; the shake-up genius and fun of pranks in the RAM; the mid-week joy of 11-2’s; the honor and respect of escorting the house mother into the dinning room and then singing the Doxology; the tattoo road trip to Newport; the carefree celebrating on Fiji Island; the special fraternal intensity of beating ATO in our mud bowl games; the elegant formals; the fun, out-of-the-box theme-oriented dances, and the rich, thoughtful heritage of Pig Dinner. There was real worth in all of them, and they were all significant events through the year. Most importantly, they were not foolish or destructive to the Castle, or to the close bond of our brotherhood. Our good fraternal life would simply not have been what it was without them, and there is no way of overstating that reality. At a minimum, these traditions were popular and fun, and at a maximum they created our stability and harmony, that is 147 years strong. With that in mind, one thing is historically clear: living with each other in the Castle was not a dull life. Most importantly, we did not discuss whether they were their relevant, old-fashioned, or out-dated. On the contrary, we cherished all of them. And, perhaps, it is not too far-reaching to say that they did shape us for the better; I believe they did. They certainly did not hurt, and we lived with a strong collective sense of well-being. All-in-all, it was a seminal time in our lives that we do not regret, and we never will, nor should we. And so, we remain proud of our history and our traditions, and there is perhaps no more enjoyable tradition than the passionate, shared fun of our muddiest tradition, driven by our fraternal pride to remain unbeaten: Mud Bowl. And, as usual, the pictures convey far more meaning than what I have written. Perge. Omega Mu Mud Bowl We are a proud brotherhood, and I believe every Omega Mu Fijis will understand and at smile what Dietrich Bonhoeffer stated about home in Letters and Papers from Prison and; second, what Thomas Jefferson said about lifelong friends: “Most people have forgotten nowadays what house can mean, though some of us have come to realize it as never before. It is a kingdom of its own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life’s storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary.” (Bonhoeffer) “Friends we have, if we have merited them. Those of our earliest years stand nearest in our affections. Our college friends are the dearest.” (Jefferson) “What if the space be long and wide, That parts us from our brother’s side A soul-joined chain unites our band, And memory links us hand in hand.” (Phi Gamma Delta fraternity song) Fraternally,

Omega Mu Voices John F. R. Kennealy, 1983 John Kennealy Omega Mu, 1983 Burr’s General Store Burr’s General Store was on Route 2 in Costigan, Maine. It was a special place for many of us. The building was unassuming on the outside, but was the quintessential country store when viewed from the inside. It was in an ideal location to kick off our many adventures out to fish the Sunkhaze Stream for wild brook trout, or for partridge hunting. The first thing we noticed on our initial venture, was the stuffed bear standing on a shelf on the back wall who was wearing a red pork-pie hat. Inside the store, was an amazing array of foods, dry goods, and fishing and hunting equipment. What drew us however, was the lunch counter, which was in the back, left side of the store. In front of the counter were a number of milk cans for stools, and we always sauntered up and grabbed a stool, while we ordered our sandwiches. So, I’m not sure where to go from here: should I talk about the amazing sandwiches, or the amazing “Burr’s Babe,” as we called her, who made them for us? Call me a sexist, but I’ll begin with the Burr’s Babe. I’ll just say it: We all wanted to marry her, and why not? She was beautiful. She had long, raven hair, big, brown eyes, and curves that would wake the dead. We all assumed that she was a member of the family-owned business, and she was about the same age of us: late teens-early twenties. She was sweet, kind, and enjoyed our banter. And, she made an amazing sandwich! A great sandwich starts with great bread. At Burr’s they baked fresh bread every day. Not only that, they sliced the bread into about one inch thick slices. Chicken salad, which was the favorite, by our consensus, was made from chickens that they roasted on site. The sandwiches were loaded, and about three inches thick when all was said and done. Each sandwich was wrapped in plastic wrap, and included a pickle slice. After collecting our sandwiches, we were on our way with a meal that lasted all day, and memories of the love of our young lives, the “Burr’s Babe.” “What if the space be long and wide, That parts us from our brother’s side A soul-joined chain unites our band, And memory links us hand in hand.” (Phi Gamma Delta fraternity song) Fraternally,
Chip Chapman, ’82 Perge Omega Mu Voices Gregory M. Scott, 1981 Chadbourne Hall Friends of the Castle Greg Scott, 1981 Wandering down College Ave, from Chadbourne Hall, to the Fiji House my freshman year with Earl McGillicuddy seems like a very long time ago and, then, in some ways, it feels just like yesterday. Earl and I pledged the house together. The house was in a rebuilding mode, with some great guys committed to the task: Billy Horr, Craig Shaknis, Dave Higgins, Mike Burns, and Dean Collins come to mind, and there were many others. Their enthusiasm for the future of the house and the brotherhood hooked both of us. The 11-2 parties did not hurt. They were held every Wednesday night and were considered the first official party of the weekend at UMO. The drinking age was 18, and UMO was a party school; something that the administrators of today would like to forget. Earl McGillicuddy Bill Horr and Craig Shaknis Dave Higgins and Mike Burns Dean Collins One of the things that attracted me to the house was the connection to others on campus and to friends back home. Unlike some of the other Fraternities on campus, Fiji was open to friends and family. Even as a rushee, or a pledge, it was not unusual to meet a cousin or a friend of a brother who was in town and invited to the house. This continued into our time at the house. I can remember Earl’s friends coming down from Houlton, Jimmy Joyce’s friends coming up from Dedham, MA, and the guys from third floor Chadbourne were always coming through the front door, and a crew of Ricky Bean’s Rangelites were always welcome. Now that was a mixture of personalities! The guys even came complete with their own nicknames: Boomer, Turtle, Woody, Woodskunk, Smokey, Willie and McGuirk are a few I can remember. Throw a sorority into this mix, and you had the feeling that Fiji was a good place to be. Ever wonder where the Phi Gamma Delta sign that hangs on the wall behind the bar came from? It was hand carved by Steve Symonds, a Chadbourne Hall friend. His nickname is McGuirk, and he was one of our number on Fiji Island. Jim Joyce and Ricky Bean Friends of Fiji Steve Symonds and Greg Wilson Steve 'McGuirk' Symonds hand-carved our Phi Gamma Delta sign Fiji Island Greg Scott and McGuirk on Fiji Island “What if the space be long and wide, That parts us from our brother’s side A soul-joined chain unites our band, And memory links us hand in hand.” (Phi Gamma Delta fraternity song) Fraternally,
Chip Chapman, ’82 Perge Our brothers careers have been productive, constructive, spirited, and prosaic. They displayed impressive skills, talents, and abilities They were, and we continue to be, a beautiful and lively expression of our enduring fraternal beliefs, and that underlying harmony is far-reaching in expectation for all brothers’, undergraduate and graduate. It is the core of what our fraternal founders asserted in 1848 and 1874 and 1899: to live active, commendable, and responsible lives, and to build up community. Clearly and compellingly, they added, and continue to add, positive value at the local, state, national, global, and fraternal level because they engaged life fully and responsibly. In short, they were authoritative pillars throughout life. They were-are exemplary in their citizenship, character, and their sense of dutiful responsibility, and, in many instances, they were leading voices in their career fields. They prove that success of any kind does not occur by luck or accident, and we remember them because they continue to provide that message for our time. Their spirit permeates our brotherhood, and it always will. We have long been, from one generation to the next, proud to be Omega Mu Fijis. We continue to cherish our fraternal friendships, our shared memories, and our evolving, forward-focused history at the University of Maine. These things, above and beyond everything else, are the underlying rooted connections that make us proud to be Omega Mu Fijis. Why, after all, should we believe otherwise? We have always exhibited a can-do fraternal spirit since 1874. And, to be sure, all present and future generations of Omega Mu Fijis will continue to do the same, with fraternal enthusiasm and commitment. As a brotherhood, we always see the path behind us and the way forward with equal clarity, and our future remains bright at 79 College Avenue because we fearlessly move forward, always guided by sound fraternal principles. Perge. Omega Mu Portrait Ted Curtis, 1923 Ted Curtis was a legendary brother in our Omega Mu brotherhood, and with energy and determination he lived a good life. Ted was, in truth, a living journey-through-time history of our brotherhood, and he stood tall in his effectiveness, influence, relevance, and zestful love in his life-long service to the University of Maine, and in his gracious, sure-handed dedication to our Omega Mu brotherhood. The university and our brotherhood remained close to his heart for his entire life because he believed in serving something larger than himself, and he exhibited our fraternal ideals in everything that he did for both: hard work, integrity, honor, faithfulness, kindness, and responsible care as the Faculty Manager of Athletics for every University of Maine student athlete for thirty-six years, in coaching the perennially successful University of Maine ski team, and in providing behind-the-scenes counsel, guidance, and history lessons for the undergraduate brothers of Omega Mu through many decades. Year-after-year, his genuine professional sense of duty had a far-reaching effect for the good as an administrator working behalf of thousands of young men and women participating in intercollegiate athletics at the university, and being a valued, inspiring mentor to hundreds of Omega Mu undergraduate brothers from the 1930’s-1980’s. He gave them confidence and encouragement during periods of success or struggle, at all times. He made real, significant contributions in everything that he did because he was always perseverant and determined. Most importantly, he radiated pride and compassion for all things Omega Mu as an undergraduate and graduate brother: brothers, traditions, our history, the Castle. In addition, he was Omega Mu’s longest serving Purple Pilgrim, and his signature fraternal belief was a rugged hope and trust for a sustained fraternal presence at the University of Maine; that we would never fade away; that we would thrive for decades and decades to come. Ted Curtis was a man of many faces, and he ably juggled all the responsibilities because he was guided by a sustaining grace in his service to the University of Maine and our Omega Mu brotherhood. His dedication was complete, total. In short, he went over-and-above in his call of service, and in doing so he had a lasting impact on the life of the university and our Omega Mu brotherhood. And furthermore, with an equal degree of time, heart, energy, and commitment, he worked for the Y.M.C.A., and he served as a senator in the Maine legislature. In everything that he did, Ted Curtis embodied and championed, in fraternal strength, confidence, and purpose, the fraternal values that we still hold in high regard. After all, our fraternal heritage at the University of Maine, which is an unbroken chain since 1874, is unique because of the brothers like Ted Curtis. It is with a constancy and firmness of Omega Mu spirit that we continue to believe, in our historic totality, that responsible, tradition-grounded, fraternal life does shape determined, great leaders in many fields, and Ted Curtis was one of those Omega Mu brothers. Ted Curtis will always have our deepest fraternal respect and admiration. Omega Mu Years Ted Curtis is the first brother on the front row, left, in both photos.

Chip Chapman, ’82 Perge! Our Omega Mu veteran-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 Red River, Marianna, San Juan Hill, Santiago de Cuba, Sulu Archipelago, 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, Beirut, Libya, 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 be grateful for the military service of every Omega Mu veteran from the Civil War to the present. We thank you. Civil War Nelson H. Martin Spanish - American War Charles S.
