2009-07-01 / Social & Community News

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Beta Phi Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Mu Phi chapter of Omega Psi Fraternity, Inc., both of Savannah, Georgia, faced up again June 6, 2009 to compete in their annual Homeruns for Hunger Softball Game to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank. Last year the Alpha's were the victors in game one and the Omega's in game two.

This year the Omega's came dressed and ready for the challenge.

Despite an early lead by the Alpha's the Omega's rallied for a 10-7 victory in this year's first competition. Beta Phi Lambda President Elijah West, Jr. stated, “the bar-bque, the fellowship with the (Omega's), and the successful can goods drive helps to take a little of the sting out the loss, but we will be back for the August rematch.”

Mu Phi Basileus James 'Slim” Melvin stated, “It was a great game and everyone including the spectators had a great time. Local Greek letter organizations should get together more to enjoy each other and to give back to our community.”

Both chapters have committed to donating 300 caned goods to the Second Harvest Food Bank. Throughout the year both chapters and their individual member contribute countless hours and resources to the local community through service projects, college scholarships, and mentor programs.
