The Friendship Foundation manages all the fraternity-owned properties, including the Omega World Center. The Omega World Center in Decatur,GA is a 5-floor office building, with an adjoining auditorium, in which only two floors are used as the Omega IHQ;the remaining space is leased to businesses and organizations. Friendship Foundation is an independant corporation made up of fraternity members just as the Life Membership Foundation. The present administration has made an effort to coordinate the work of all three entities under the rubric of it theme, "Economic Empowerment Leading to Social and Economic Change." In a previous administration there was a "turf skirmish" between the the fraternity and the foundation,but it has been rectified.
The foundation bankrolls the sholarship program of the Fraternity and other programs, while the housing corporation actually runs the day-to-day operations of the Omega World Center and other properties.
"The value of our fraternity is not in numbers, but in men in real brotherhood..."-Bro. Walter H. Mazyck,Esq.,The Oracle,1925.
