T hree guys, one brotherhood and a night full
of laughter and cheers. Omega Psi Phi, a
PanHellenic fraternity at Texas A&M, hosts
the fifth annual Apollo Night this Saturday
in Rudder Theatre.
Founded in 1911 on the campus of Howard Uni
versity, Omega Psi Phi lives under the principles of
manhood, scholarship, perseverance and uplift. In
1991, Omega Psi Phi was established at Texas A&M
University.
The chapter at Texas A&M consists of three men,
Brian Doze, Rodney McCoy and TaVare Newell.
• • The program was founded on
the focus to generate funds to advance
needy and minority students on to col
lege. We’re just trying to do our part
to make the future a little
brighter. ”
Brian Doze
Omega Psi Phi
The money raised from Apollo Night goes to a
scholarship, which is awarded to a graduating senior
of an ethnic minority from Bryan High School.
McCoy, a senior environmental engineering ma
jor, said that Apollo Night is an audience interactive
talent-show.
Similar to Amatuer Night at the historic Apollo
Theater in Harlem, N.Y., Apollo Night lets audience
members choose the acts they want to see and cut
short the acts they do not.
“If the audience does not like you, they can “boo"
you off the stage,” he said. “It has become a tradition
at A&M that everyone looks forward to.”
The fraternity usually searches for talent in the
Bryan-College Station area, but acts as far away as
Houston have auditioned for the show.
Local groups Prime-Time Posse and the Fade
to Black Dance Team will be two of the 12
groups to perform.
“We decide who is worthy enough to be in our
show,” Doze said.
The fraternity is expecting 750-1000 people at this
year’s Apollo Night. That may seem like a huge num
ber for three guys to tackle.
“Omega Psi Phi is based on men and real broth
erhood,” McCoy said. “Not numbers.”
The fraternity believes that on a conser
vative campus they are a liberal, free-type
of organization.
The fraternity is also hosting a party after the
show in Sbisa Dining Hall.
“The program was founded on the focus to gen
erate funds to advance needy and minority students
on to college,” Doze said. “We’re just trying to do our
part to make the future a little brighter.”
Apollo Night begins at 7:30 tomorrow night. Tick
ets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.
