On the afternoon of October 1, 1935, seven young professionals who had been thoroughly immersed in the TRUE OMEGA SPIRIT met at the home of George L. Allen. Due to the prospect of Dallas, Texas someday becoming a melting pot of Omega men, these impetuous young men decided that there should be an active chapter in the city. The seven men - George L. Allen, E. Homer Brown, Frank H. Jordan, Jr., William T. Burke, Charles Fields, Bernard Blackman, and Rodman Doyle having already achieved prominence as intellectual leaders were indeed well qualified to lay the ground work for the Theta Alpha Chapter. All of these college graduates exemplified the premise that the course of Omega Psi Phi was well chartered by men with a vision of the future with high conceptions of morality, honor, and scholarship. After formulating the rules and regulations which were in direct accordance with the national regulations established by the Grand Council, then Grand Basileus, William Baugh, was informed of the policies and soon thereafter the organization was approved by the Grand Council. Hence became Theta Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi. The newly organized chapter was met with wide acceptance and tremendous interest by the community and black college graduates who did not have the opportunity to become Omega men during their undergraduate years.
