I don't have a good feeling when large Historically White schools in the north like University of Michigan (for example). started getting NPHC chapters.
And no one uses what an actual person from Greece would consider the "best" transliteration. A F O.
Another question on Q = Omega, do the other members of the NPHC use Q for omega in describing chapter names?
Moving back to Chants and songs. Has anyone actually used any of the songs in the History Book on campus in the last two decades or so?

Although Alpha has no chapters with "Omega" in the name (except Omega Chapter itself) I know that a few ALA grad chapters (which end in Omega) do indeed use "Q" as an abbreviation. For example, I think Eta Omega Omega in New York goes by HQQ or EQQ for short.
The FIRST time APO and Omega Psi Phi were on the same campus.....from my research it appears that was Beta Chapter of APO and Omicron Psi Chapter of Omega, both established in 1927.
When I was pledgemaster, the Spring 2001 line at Mu Alpha did have to learn several of "the" APO songs during their last week. I think it's important to teach what we have before making it up from scratch.
