CHAPTER HISTORY

A BRIEF HISTORY OF EPSILON PI CHAPTER OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INC

Epsilon Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated was founded March 23, 1973.  The Chapter was organized by Brothers: Jesse Williams, Jr., William C. Shumake, J. Paul Stephens, Meredith Chaplin, Jr. (Omega Chapter) , Juan R. Baughn, Johnnie Ponzie, John R. Lay, Lawrence Charleston, Jr., and Brad Lewis.  Epsilon Pi was originally chartered in Media, Pa.  Epsilon Pi help charter the Alpha Eta Chapter on September 17, 1974.  Because of unknown circumstances the chapter became dormant after several meetings.

The Chapter remained dormant until the spring of 1981.  Through the urging of Brother John Maloney, the Second District Representative at the time, the process of reorganizing Epsilon Pi Chapter was implemented.

Brother Dexter L. Davis, Sr. and Brother Richard Brown, along with several other Omega men, accepted the challenge to seek out interested brothers in the city of Chester and vicinity who would be interested in the reorganization of Epsilon Pi Chapter.

On April 17, 1981, a meeting was held at the old West End Y.M.C.A.  This meeting was attended by several key Second District officers and representatives and a host of local Omega Men.  At the conclusion of the meeting Epsilon Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was reorganized and officially moved to Chester, PA.

Through the efforts of the reorganizing brothers, Epsilon Pi Chapter grew rapidly.  Since the reorganization several lines of Omega Men have been inducted into the Fraternity through the chapter.

Today, Epsilon Pi Chapter is alive and well.  The Chapter continues to be a leader in the community in regards to social, educational and community service.
