An update from the latest issue of The Sword & Shield, the newsletter of our Grand Basileus concerning what is now called the "Lamp of Omega Program."
NEW LAMP OF OMEGA PROGRAM
Recently, the Supreme Council voted to delay implementation of our new program to bring in
new members. We will maintain the current MSP through July 2010. In the interim, we will
train our leadership to implement the new program; recruit and train members for our new
Omega Training Cadre and publish our new program materials.
As stated in our last newsletter, "The new and improved program will not only inform about our
great organization, it will also add value to each candidate’s growth experience. Sessions on
leadership, etiquette, protocol, and community service will add a new dimension to our intake
program. We are also adding a new instructor’s manual and resource guide. We want to ensure
that Omega Psi Phi Fraternity is presented uniformly to each candidate.‖ We appreciate your
patience as we try to get our Conclave mandate right."
From what I've heard the delay on the implementation largely had to do with not enough due diligence in marketing/selling of the program being done in reference to HBCUs, which would not be as receptive to a revised "pledge program."
