Reunions

We proudly remember our fraternal past because we are a historic fraternal brotherhood in so many ways, and we are all keenly aware of that fact, proudly so. We are, rightly so, proud of our long-rooted fraternal history at the University of Maine. 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, it is meaningful commitment that we all share to return to Castle to joyfully celebrate Pig Dinner. And it impossible not to get nostalgic when set foot inside the Castle again because we are the historically unique fraternal brotherhood at the University of Maine. Matter-of-factly, our sustained history is a wonderful testament to each and every brother and our collective perseverance and determination over 123 years, and in two years we will celebrate our 125th Anniversary. Quite simply, we have a winning fraternal history. What lessons can we draw from our fraternal history? Simple, past and present, and for all the years to come, we will always be the preeminent fraternal brotherhood at the University of Maine. ​

“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.”
