Thanks! Yes, as an aside, Omega Psi Phi does have some beautiful songs--both melodies and lyrics. This is not simply an Omega man bragging. I've heard other Greeks(esp. women!) say the same. One of things that draws people to our Memorial Services is the singing of our hymn,"Omega Dear', which is the last thing we do. It is a beautiful and moving hymn with crisp, meaningful lyrics and a haunting melody. Yes, not only Langston Hughes, but Dr. Charles Drew, the man most responsible for the development of the use of blood plasma in WWII and a great surgeon/educator and Dr. W. Mercer Cook, Professor of French at Howard Univ. and Ambassador to Senegal (of whom it was said that he spoke English with a French accent!),wrote this song when they were undergrads at Amherst College.

"Que Psi Phi til the day I die!"
