Henry B. Eaton, II, 1926

Truthfully, there is no fraternal brotherhood quite like Omega Mu at the University of Maine. We are proud of our history, and we are proud of the impressive number of fraternal brothers who played on many University of Maine athletic teams. With conviction and commitment, our Omega Mu athlete brothers brought a great deal of joy and satisfaction to the university community, creating many wonderful memories since the first baseball team was established at Maine State College in the 1870's. The worked together for the success of each Maine team, and the overall civic good of the University of Maine. The sheer number of Omega Mu athlete brothers is an unqualified triumph for the University of Maine. Their positive impact on the University of Maine community cannot be overstated. They each gave their best efforts on each team, and what they achieved perfectly compliments what we fraternally believe: drive and determination. It is a heady athletic legacy. Accordingly, their accomplishments claim our fraternal attention and respect. For the eminence of their athletic success; and, above all, for being our Omega Mu brothers, we are proud. Therefore, in the linked soul and spirit of our long fraternal history, we gratefully remember and celebrate our QTV and Omega Mu brothers who participated on many varsity athletic teams at the University of Maine. Our scorecard is deep, and we appreciate, and we are proud of, all of our Omega Mu athlete brothers. 

Thoreau said it best: “What a difference, whether in all your walks, you meet only strangers, or in one house is one who knows you, and whom you know. To have a brother…How rare these things are.” How true that is, and we remain that way to this day.

​which proved a veritable tinder box."

"Then began a struggle against odds. Clad only in pajamas, bathrobes, or hastily acquired garb, the Fijis set about, in the teeth of a fierce snowstorm, to rescue what they could. Pictures, the piano, eggs, dinner coats were snatched from the tongue of the flames until at last the Fijis were compelled to retire."

"The brothers who went through the blaze....
are Brothers William Murray, Joseph Murray, Edgar Coffin, Henry Eaton, John Glenn, Donald Mitchell, Clarence Hart, and Donald Powell
​and pledge Russ Dyer."

...."The colors came through unscathed."

"All in all the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has a house, which can hardly be surpassed in

“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)
