~Halloween Challenge~ Tag us on Social Media with your costume to enter! Winner will be drawn at random on November 6th Chairman's Message:  Hello Brothers, Happy November to all! Last month we had a great time out at our annual golf tournament. It was awesome getting to see to many familiar faces and to meet some brothers for the first time! I would say it was one of our most diverse alumni attended events that we have hosted in the past couple years. I was glad to see brothers both young and old distinguished hanging out and having a great time out a Irving Golf Club. Now that October has passed, we find ourselves entering the end of the year holiday season. Both November and December are the times that we really double down on our mission to help the surrounding DFW with our Annual Turkey Food Drive and our Elf Toy Drive. I hope that you all can find it in your hearts to help donate to these great causes, and/or to support us by sharing these events with your friends and family. It is only through you, our readers and dedicated DFW network that we are able to continue to grow these programs year after year.  As always if you need anything, or would just like to chat, feel free to reach out at my contact below.

Click here to see all of our Team photos like the above! We cannot thank everyone enough for their support of this year scholarship golf tournament. Thanks to your support we were able to break our previous attendance record of 113 by having a Whopping 126 participants in our 2022 tournament!  Not only that, but thanks to your donations,  next year's scholarships will bring our organization to over $100,000 in college scholarships awarded to college students since 2015!  Our Knights Classic Tournament has always been one of our stand out events for the DFWAA, and would never have made it this many years without the growing support of our volunteers, our annual sponsors, and the support of brothers and their friends that they bring out to golf each year. We would like to give a special shout out to our Title Sponsor, JJ Chapa and Liberty Realty Advisors!. For years JJ and his team have made the annual commitment not only to sponsor this tournament, but to come out as a team to help stuff gift bags, set up registration, taking pictures around the course, and making sure everyone is having a great time. The DFWAA are always greatful to have them come out each year, and we are excited to see the Liberty Realty Group and all of our other participants/ volunteers out on the course next year!  The Knights Classic will return on October 6, 2023 Sponsored by Liberty Realty Advisors at the Irving Golf Club.

Chairman's Message:

Hello Brothers,

Happy October Brothers! The Knight's Classic is finally here!!! I can't wait to hang out with you all this Friday. This tournament has grown to be one of the largest ways that the DFW Alumni Association is able to give back to the community each year, and we would not have been able to make it this far without your support!

Our organization has provided tens of thousands of dollars in donation to students over the years, and we are not showing any signs of slowing down. It fills me with pride when I am able to share this event with friends or colleagues, as it is both a great experience and has such a great impact on the lives of the students that are awarded scholarships.

For those of you coming out, I wish you the best of luck. To those who were unable to attend this year, I hope that you will consider signing up a team for 2023, or help help share this event with your work or business in the hopes that we can continue to grow our sponsor base and grow our total annual scholarships that we are able to award.

With that being said, may the odds be ever in your favor this weekend, and here's to more treats than tricks this season.

Yours in Service and Brotherhood,

Mike Dominguez

Chairman Scholarship Winners Message:

Hello Brothers,

We are one month away from the Knights Classic Golf Tournament! Hopefully you have your teams picked out and hotels booked (if needed). I cannot tell you guys how much it means to us in the DFWAA to see the Knight's Classic tournament each year, and the impact that it makes to the students that receive our scholarships. Therefore, we wanted to give some of our award recipients a moment to share their thanks to you, our generous donors.

"As an incoming Freshman at University of Texas at Arlington, majoring in nursing I plan to use the Omega Delta Phi Scholarship toward my educational purpose of studying to become a Nurse Practitioner. With the help and assistance of the scholarship it will allow me to be one step closer to my future goal. - Zierra Williams - UT Arlington, 2022 Scholarship Recipient

"Thank you so much for choosing me as a scholarship recipient. I will use this scholarship to help pay for my tuition at Collin College. I am hoping to become an elementary school teacher and this scholarship will help me achieve my goal." - Amaya Ramirez - Collin College, 2022 Scholarship Recipient

"I plan to use the scholarship funds to fund my computer science degree at the University of Texas at Austin. With my degree, I intend to aid other minority women within the technology field. This way, the scholarship will be paid forward towards those in need, like me."

- Ximena Salazar - UT Austin,  2022 Scholarship Recipient

As always, my contact info is below, keep safe, and May the Final Fantasy Odds Be Ever In Your Favor!

This summer has been a memorable one, and whether its a quick 30 minute pop in at an event, or volunteering to join our Executive Board. I encourage you all to take the time to meet us up and rekindle that brotherhood fire.

As always, my contact info is below, I'm always down for a chat, dinner, or hang out.

July Wrap up   ODPhi Takes Over on the Space City for 2022 National Convention Nationals in Houston this year was a great turn out for both Undergrad and Alumni. With the new Alumni centered workshops, golf tournament, Alumni Social, and more. It was definitely one for the books! Next year's National Conference will be held at Epsilon Chapter, in Phoenix, Arizona. Vice President of Alumni Engagement, Jose Lara, and National President, Jesus Apodaca, laid our their plans for Revamping Alumni Engagement, as well as their plans for creating Professional Rush Program for those graduated individuals that share our values of serving the community but find ODPhi after college. If you are interested in helping our national organization connect and grow its alumni chapters across the Nation. Please contact: Jose Lara Vice President of Alumni Engagement vp.alumni@omegadeltaphi.org DFWAA Gives out $5,000 In Scholarships in Remembrance of our Departed Brothers Who Have the Omega Chapter Thank you to all of the brothers that applied to our Omega scholarships.

We are thankful for the KDChi Dallas Alumni Association for setting up this event, and it was great to network with the other DFW Greek Alumni In the area. We look forward to more mixed events in the future!  DFWAA Shuffleboard Brunch and Salsa Sunday was a success!  Thank you to everyone that came out to our July Brunch at Electric Shuffle in Deep Ellum! The Sunday Funday Crew enjoyed great eats and fun games followed by dancing at Yellow Rosa to celebrate national tequila day.

Greetings Brothers, I wanted to change up our monthly newsletter in order to share information about our recently departed brother, Fred Pecina.  Fred has been a part of our brotherhood since the beginning, and was a major supporter of its growth over the years. Chances are if you have been to any of our events over the years, you would have ran into Fred laughing and talking with fellow alumni at some point. He will surely be missed by all. If you would like to attend his services in Fort Worth, the information is below.

ODPHI NATIONAL CONFERENCE AND GOLF TOURNAMENT JULY 14-17 The biennial National Conference offers a unique opportunity for members of Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, Inc. of all ages from many parts of the world to meet in the true spirit of brotherhood. The conference has three main responsibilities and powers. Educate the membership base on entity operation fundamentals. Provide a space for brothers to reconnect while connecting with new brothers for the first time. Celebrate the success and progress of our brotherhood that occurred within this past year. Alumni Track + Golf Tournament In the past, alumni would register for conference but not gain anything out of the weekend. This year, there is a track dedicated to Alumni. This track is a mix of brotherhood “reunion” activities, workshops, and a chance to learn more about the vision for the Alumni Engagement. An optional golf tournament is taking place on Friday 7/15 at Hermann Park Golf Course.  Click here to learn more  and  click here to learn about sponsorship opportunities!

Chairman Message:

Happy March Everyone! I love this time of year as the sun ventures out more and more each day. Its time to stretch those leg and touch grass, now that the winter season is almost behind us.

More importantly, its time to come hang out with your favorite DFW alumni association!

We have always said that ODPhi is not a 4 year organization, it is a brotherhood for life. But that can only remain true if we can continue to have new brothers come out and support of our Alumni Association.

The brothers of the DFWAA are 100% volunteers that put in their 40 hours, then turn around and pour hours of love and hard work to ensure you will always have a family and support in the DFW. With all the efforts that we put into this organization, our victories will be short lived, if we remain reliant on a dedicated few.

That being said, We NEED your help!

Reach out to your pledge brothers and line brothers in the DFW. If you have a passion for this brotherhood and helping the community, please reach out. We have a place for you and would love to help you find an outlet to show your support.

Thank you once again to all of you that have supported our organization,  I hope that you all are enjoying your year so far, and may your team have the best of luck as March Madness ramps up!

Yours in Service and Brotherhood,

Mike Dominguez

Chairman Message: 

Happy February, Everyone! One month down, 11 more to go! Thank you to all of you that have already renewed your membership, and helped support us in our fundraising efforts so far this year. I had a great time meeting our Membership Wing night last month, and a fun first time supporting the Kick'n it With Tre Kickball Tournament in Houston. I hope that you all will continue to get involved in the DFWAA this year, and continue to let us know how we can improve.

On a more serious note, as we get into the below freezing days ahead of us, I hope that you all keep safe and warm. Please stay off the icy roads when possible, and let us know if there is anything the DFWAA can do to help out.

Yours in Service and Brotherhood,
