​
We savor
The sustained
Good
​

In the rich
Tapestry
Of our

150 year
Fraternal history
At the University

Of Maine. 
From moment-
To moment,

Year-to
Year, and
Decade-

Decade, we
Celebrate
Our 150 

Fraternal history,
The original
Fraternal

Brotherhood at
The University of
Maine. 

It is 
A very 
​Big deal.

As such,
We all 
Celebrate and

Are thankful
For the brief
Gift of

Time that
We had
In living

With each
Other in
The Castle,

Our historic
Fraternal
Home, that

Is filled
With an
Absolute 

Treasure 
Trove of
Generational

Memories, and it is
Devotionally

Worth

Pondering

The long,
Uniting,

Encircling

Chain of Q. T. V.,
Omega Mu

Nicknames, our deep
Rooted fraternal
Sacrament

That dates to our
Groundbreaking
Q.T.V founding

In 1874
That has
Remained

A linking
Fraternal strength,
Nickname-

To-nickname,
To nickname
One-by-

One, in
Linked
Poetic

Form, our
Inimitable,
Singular

Fraternal
Pulse of
Initiation;

A cheerful,
Humorous
Rite of

Passage within
Our Q. T. V. and
Omega Mu

Brotherhood,
And, thankfully,
We do

Not have
Stereotypical
Low-

Brow,
Pedestrian
Nicknames that

Are vapid,
Trifling,
Irreverent,

Sordid and
Shocking like
Weasel, Mothball

Pinto, Stork, D-Day,
Flounder, and Bluto.
Oh, no,

Oh, no, our
Q. T. V. - Omega Mu

Nicknames are

Burnished,
Ennobling
Jewels with


William F.
Buckley gravitas:
Rich and high-

Minded with
Urbane,
Thought-

Provoking wit

Class,
Style, and

Civilizing good
Taste and
High

Intellectual
Import that were
Arrived at through

A sober, clear-
Eyed fraternal
Divination

Process of
Depth,
Precision

Reflection and
Examination of
The highest

Order, almost
Jesuit-like,

In being

A spiritually
And
Intellectually

Robust
Discernment
Process

Requiring clear-
Thinking; not
A trivial

Process,
Mind you,
But a sacred,

Mystical  Q. T. V. -
Omega Mu

Process, a

Rigorous rite of
Mystery and
Magic,

Nobility and
Purpose, that
Takes

Calm, measured,

Scrutinizing
Care;

Time and
Patience;
Literally soul-

Searching,
In order to
Discern the

Distilled,
Archetypal
Essence of

Each Q. T. V.-
Omega Mu
Brother, and

These names endure
Link-to-fraternal
Link, generation-

To-generation-
Due to there
Rhythmically

Resonating
Good taste and
Soulful

Profundity that
We cherish in
Our seam

Lessly - linked
Q. T. V - Omega
Chain of

Nicknames
Because of
There

Distinctive
Sense of
Taste,

Wit and
Charm
That we

Pride our
Selves on
As Omega Mu

Fiji brothers, a
True historic,
Poetic

Testament in
Full fraternal
Amplitude

Our extraordinary,

Good to
​Be Fiji.

​“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.”
