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, and because of that we are an exceptional brotherhood because we remain committed and hardworking to assure that our Omega Mu brotherhood will continue to be the jewel at the University of Maine. Perge. Omega Mu Portrait Robie L. Mitchell, 1907 Omega Mu Years "The Omega Mu chapter of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity started off the social events for the new year by giving.....one of the most delightful dances ever held in the gymnasium." "During the evening there was a short musical entertainment by various members, followed by light refreshments and the affair was in every way most enjoyable." This is the second smoker to be given by Phi Gamma Delta during the past two years and has for its object the promotion of a closer relationship between the students and faculty. These smokers establish precedents which the other fraternities do well to adopt." University of Maine Ice Carnival "Ice Carnival Committee... Robie Lawton Mitchell" President, Robie L. Mitchell, '08" University Of Maine Law School University of Maine Athlete "Robie Mitchell, A 1907 Grad, Is The Father Of The Toll Turnpikes" Maine Turnpike Honoring Rudy Vallee "The Mitchell Brothers Of Omega Mu" “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,
