With four Sammy Awards up their sleeves, Omega Delta Phi, otherwise known as OD-Phi, have "got it goin' on!" Not only do they have two back-to-back Sammy Awards for Outstanding Community Service Organization under their belts, but in spring 1998, a semester before the group was first charted on this campus, they received the Outstanding New Organization Award. Not to mention the Sammy Party Award for best social event. The group is made up of 16 members, who are still heading in the right direction. Coming up in March, they are promoting their National Philanthrophy, "Brothers Against Drunk Driving," and in April, they are hosting a comedy show for the second time at the Jolly Fox. Other local philanthropies include the Good Shepherd Mission, working with patients at the Fairpark Nursing Home and tutoring young individuals at Gibbs Elementary. President Daniel Arredondo said he thinks the fraternity is, "one of the most cultural, diverse organizations on campus. "When anyone is interested in our organization, I make sure they look at other organizations as well and then check us out. I think we represent ourselves really well, so it's not like we tell people they have to join our organization. We allow everyone to make their own decision," said Arredondo. OD-Phi member Anthony Molina said, "We feel comfortable enough that they'll return to our organization. "I think our fraternity is pretty unique, just because we've received four awards on campus. I don't believe any other organization has gotten that many," said Molina. Anyone interested in Omega Delta Phi should visit their Web site on the SHSU home page, or pick up a student organizations packet in the Student Activities Office.
