Beta Phi Chapter Activities

Achievement Week
National Achievement Week is designated to seek out and give due recognition and awards to men and women who have excelled and made noteworthy contributions towards improving the quality of life for Black Americans.

Chapter Meetings
Chapter Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Durham Alumnae Delta House (directions) auditorium, located at 1000 E. Forest Hills Blvd in Durham. The meetings begin with dinner and fraternization at 7:00 PM and the formal meeting begins at 7:30 PM. Executive Committee meetings are scheduled for the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM, also at the Durham Alumnae Delta House. Exec Committee meetings are open to all Brothers, unless otherwise noted. These meetings are held upstairs in the Board Room.

Chapter Picnic
The Beta Phi Chapter Picnic is open to all members of Beta Phi Chapter and their families. This event is planned to encourage fellowship between the chapter members and their families.

National High School Essay Contest
A High School Essay Contest is to be held in conjunction with Achievement Week. This contest is open to all college-bound high school seniors. College scholarships are awarded to the winners, each of whom must submit an essay on a theme/topic chosen by the fraternity. This contest is a phase of the International Achievement Week observance.

Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras is an Beta Phi Chapter event open to all our friends. Beta Phi Chapter welcomes its guests who have come to support our efforts to raise funds for our service and scholarship endeavors. Each year the chapter gives out thousands of dollars through its formal scholarship application process, annual Talent Hunt competition, and Social Action initiatives. Many of the students we have provided funds to in the past have gone on to earn doctoral degrees, start successful careers, and even start their own businesses.

Memorial Service
March 12th of each year has been established as Memorial Day. Chapters are expected to conduct an appropriate service to recall the memory of those members who have entered into Omega Chapter.

NAACP
Every district and chapter of the fraternity is required to maintain a Life Membership at Large in the NAACP. In the event that a chapter or district is not a life member of the NAACP, it must maintain a yearly membership to be in could standing with the fraternity. Furthermore, all members of the fraternity are strongly encouraged to become members of the NAACP.

Talent Hunt
This program provides exposure, encouragement and financial assistance to talented young people participating in the Performing Arts. Winners of the competition are awarded recognition for their talents. Awards may include college scholarships.

UPI/Omega Mentoring Program
The UPI/Omega Mentoring Program is an extensive male mentoring and manhood program that was developed and created by the Uplift Project, Inc. The Program will focus on preventative measures and intervention methods to increase positive behaviors, to result in a decrease in youth gang membership, rampant teen violence, and reinforce a strong scholastic foundation to combat the increasing number of school dropouts. The goal of the UPI/Omega Mentoring Program is to provide young black males in the Durham area with mentoring and guidance from professional black male role models. The program will accomplish this with the establishment of a value-centered agenda aimed at producing stable young men.
