Omega Psi Phi Fraternity announces activities for Achievement Week

The Omega Chi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated in Selma has announced their activities for 2022 Achievement Week. 

This occasion is observed every November to recognized those who have "contributed to the community uplift." The 2022 event will focus on issues of gun violence, drug use and poverty. 

"Over time, we have witnessed several problems that have affected the very communities that we serve. It would be a major disservice if we chose not to act nor do our part in the quest for solutions," said local chapter president Basileus Calvin Marshall. 

"Our achievement week aims to focus on four things- Reclamation, Fundraising, Friendship, but most important of all Community. In doing so, we are asking for the community to join us in our efforts."
