“Run the race set before us”

It is fraternally soul-stirring to consider the number of Omega Mu brothers who played on various athletic teams at the University of Maine. These brothers of ours represent a long-standing Q.T.V. and Omega Mu tradition in proudly upholding the traditions of excellence and success of many University of Maine athletic teams. They wore the Black Bear uniforms well, and their effort was vigorously commendable. They participated in and for the very best of each University of Maine athletic team. Through their unselfish commitment, positive attitude, honor, integrity, and emotional intensity they brought countless hours of joy and happiness to thousands of University of Maine students, creating thousands of historic memories on the football field, baseball field, soccer field, wrestling mat, track, basketball court, and on the ice with the vitality and creative energy of their play for the Black Bears to win. They exhibited outstanding sportsmanship and leadership on almost every team. Quite honestly, our athletic roots at the University of Maine are lasting and deep. There is no struggle with trepidation to say that we are proud of each of them, and we are mighty proud and honored to call each of them our Omega Mu brothers. They nobly represent the ideas and ideals of our QTV and Phi Gamma Delta founders. Our gratitude for each of these brothers cannot be measured, but we thank each of them again, again, and again. In the ebb and flow of life, that is a constant. Here, then, are many of our 1950-1970 Omega Mu athlete brothers. In Brotherhood,
Fraternally,

Chip Chapman, ’82
