OUT 1988 Xano nal Convention was atremendous success from stan to finish.Alm ost 1,000 brothers attended and 128cha pters were represented.

G ood times were had by all. It was theoppo rtu ne time to meet new friends andrenew old acq ua int a n ces . The manymonths of work paid off for C h ris Fischer,Convention Cha irman and h is all irnpor­[ant Convention Committee. Activitieswere nonstop for the many attendees.Reference co m m ittees , seminars andworkshops a nd of course the ever presentsoc ial activities led cvervone to co mmentthat a Xar ional Conve ntion is a n impor­ta nt pa rt of OU T Fraternity struc t ure.

The Convcr nio n was.held in the Denver~1nrriott. The opening banquet featuredthe Koshare Indians and two gifted speakersin Dr. Richard Rose, President of RochesterInst itu te of Technology and C ha irma n ofou r Endowment Trustees, and Mr. JnyHeim, National Director of the NationalEa gl e Sco u t A ssociation .

Of co urse. what would our C onventionbe without o ne unscheduled event. T hefirst banquet featured a 15minute presen­ta tion by the hotel fire alarm which allowedthe brothers to formulate a new "sound"later used at every opportunity with muchenthusiasm.

During the Convention the delegatespart icipa ted in a talent sh ow, casino partyand two dances . Those willing [0 brave theColorado co ld , and who had the time ,visited the sh opping mall s, historical area s.and "other cu ltu ral" site s. There was a

lu ncheon for Sectional Chairmen andChapter Advisors as well as receptions fordelegates to meet the National Presidentand Xarional Board of D irectors.

Over 100 alumni were in attendan ce andma ny of them worked with the ReferenceCommittees, attended seminars and pa r·ricipated in an alumni reception.

Brot hers from A lpha Phi Omega Philip­pi nes were in at tendance and leading thatdelegat io n was Carlos "Callov" Caliwara,APO Ph ilippines National President.

T he four dav Convent ion (3 result of the1986 Convention] came to a n end all to

1988,90 PROGRAM OF EMPH ASIS- A CHALLENGEThe 1988 Convention determined

that for the next two years the P rogramof Emphasis for the Fraternity w ill be"Jake Pride in America' : In 1989·90chap te rs arc encouraged to co mplete"environmental awareness" projects,such as recycling efforts, communitybeautification, and tree pla n ting,

The Brot her s of Psi Omega rook th echa llenge seriously. A s a popular radi oco rnrnenrato r wou ld say, "Thi s is t he restof the sto ry......

There were two local agencies th at wereab le to help the chapter with National'sdi rectives and in tu rn the brothers wereab le to provide service.

The directo rwas the same for both organizations and..he said , "Before you can G reen Up, youmust C lean Up"! And, so Psi Omega did .
