Chairman Message:

Happy September brothers!

This Month's letter is a bit long, so I'll keep it short and sweet. School is back in session, so make sure to support your local chapter in their rush events. Come sip wine, play golf and snag your early bird tickets to the end of the year Gala!

Thank you all again for your support this year, and

CHEERS TO TAILGATE SEASON!!!!

Your Humblest of Chairmen,

Mike Dominguez

We would like to Thank all those who submitted an application for the Omega Delta Phi DFW Alumni Association Scholarships this year. We had over 35 applicants all of whom were well qualified. The Scholarship committee went through each application and chose the winners based on Academics, Letters of Recommendation, and Personal statements. It was very hard to pick our scholarship winners this year. We had excellent candidates who where all deserving, and in fact squeezed an extra Scholarship out of our treasurer this year. So instead of the 6 scholarships we planned to give we are now giving away a 7th Scholarships this year. So without Further ado:

2021 Unstoppable Scholarship Winners:

$2000 Scholarship – Conner Temple

$1500 Scholarship – Marshall Morgan

2021 JJ Chapa Knights Classic Scholarship Winners:

$2500 Scholarship – Josiah Bradley

$1000 Scholarship – Meridith McGee

$1000 Scholarship – Blanca Macias

$1000 Scholarship – Julianne Torres

$1000 Scholarship – Daisy Ruiz

$1000 Scholarship – Earl Wright

$1000 Scholarship – Ella Stone

We would like to congratulate all the winners and would like to thank all those that applied for our scholarships this year. We wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors at the Universities and Colleges you have chosen to attend. We hope that you will look for Omega Delta Phi on your campuses and join us in our Philanthropy and Community Service throughout the year.

Congratulations again to this year’s Winners

ITS RUSH SEASON!!!

2021 Rush Invite from the UTD Undergraduate Chapter

Good Morning Alumni,

Since the start of this pandemic, we have all faced challenges that have been unique in nature due to the environment we find ourselves in. These difficulties have not only affected us as individuals but also in our careers, with our families and friends, and the ways we use to interact. The active chapter has been no stranger to these issues as for the past year we have had to adapt to an online setting as we achieve meeting the needs and concerns of the community, maintaining our sacraments, and graduating our members. As the new academic year starts, we want to excel in every goal which includes having a successful rush.

We want to invite you, the alumni body, to our rush events to not only meet our interest but also give the active chapter the opportunity to hang out with our alumni brothers in the name of Unity. Please read below to see the details regarding our events:

Midwestern State University

Wichita Falls, Texas

Texas Christian University
