Ricky Lewis, Grand Basileus of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. told , “The charter members, right? The nine brothers who thought about having a chapter 100 years ago, they laid the foundation. So, we knew what we had to do to build upon that.”

The Psi Omega Chapter has heavily contributed to the success of the Augusta-Richmond County area with countless members past and presents who have paved the way for the chapter’s success. Lewis also said, “Over the 25 years, 50 years, 75 years, now 100 years, and now it’s our job to lay the foundation for the next 100 years. Of course, none of us will be here but somebody’s going to be celebrating 200 years of this outstanding chapter.
