Omega Delta Phi Loyola Colony

erve the community, to promote higher education, to excel academically, socially, and athletically . Omega Delta Phi does not rely on the past to identify with the present and future. We realize that our future is controlled by the actions we do today. Elevating our standards and constant improvement are goals that every brother of Omega Delta Phi is instilled from their inception. "One culture, any race." This paradigm accurately describes Omega Delta Phi's philosophy of inclusion. While proud to be a fraternity founded primarily by Latinos at Texas Tech University, Omega Delta Phi has always found itself in the position of appealing the people of many races and backgrounds. The question that begs to be asked is, "Why is this true?" It is that you will find that our ideals are universal. While other organizations focus on what they have been Omega Delta Phi focuses on what it is becoming. Race is a limiting concept that forces people of a nationality and/or color into preconceived roles and expectations. However, any man will tell you that people of the same nationality can be different as night and day in their beliefs and ideals. A culture, however, is defined by a set of shared ideals, traditions, and values. The men of Omega Delta Phi is founded on the concept that in order to truly grow as an individual, one must experience views which can challenge preconceived perceptions to foster growth and enlightenment. "One Culture, any race." This is a completely new way of looking at ourselves and the world we live in. A challenge to the closed minded to look beyond what they believe to be true and realize the truth is largely dependent on one's perspective. A philosophy that suggests the coexistence of various races can be a win-win situation if we are willing to learn from one another. "One culture, any race" is an ideal for a new millennium and a new fraternity.
