I had the pleasure of attending a delightful event hosted by the Gamma Pi chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., located in Prince George's County, MD. With more than 150 dues-paying members, Gamma Pi has earned a reputation for true friendship and consistent and engaging Social Action programs that fully align with the Cardinal Principles of the Omega Psi Phi Founders: Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift. Gamma Pi is a three-time Graduate Chapter of the Year award winner in the Second District as well as a recent Social Action Chapter of the Year.
This was not my first time attending one of their shindigs and I must say these fellas know how to treat a Queen! The atmosphere was extremely festive...complete with a live band, New Orleans inspired cuisine and a costume contest.
Besides being chivalrous, the brothers of Gamma Pi took a few moments to put a Queen to work! Not only did I have the honor of being announced as a VIP guest but I also selected the raffle winners. At a time when community service, full-time career and a budding entrepreneurial spirit rule my world, it is refreshing to to just have "traditional Beauty Queen" duties.
As always, I enjoyed interacting with the guests and catching up with my Sister Queen, former Miss Black Maryland USA-Ebony Andrews as well as my friend and Afro-American Newspaper editor Mr. Edgar Brookins. Can't wait to attend yet another well-organized, classy event by the Gamma Pi Chapter!
