The Theta Xi Nu Graduate Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated was officially chartered on June 27, 2024, during the 84th Grand Conclave held in Tampa, Florida. Birthed with 45 committed brothers, the chapter was established to serve the Fort Washington community in southern Prince George’s County, Maryland.

The chapter convened its inaugural formal meeting on November 22, 2024, hosted at the residence of Brother Vaughn Terell Gourdin (Terry) in Fort Washington, Maryland. Following its initial organizational efforts, Theta Xi Nu conducted its first official election in December 2024, installing its founding administration.

Guided by the Fraternity’s cardinal principles “Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift” Theta Xi Nu is driven by a strategic vision focused on excellence in five key areas:

  • Membership Growth and Retention
Prioritizing reclamation, visibility within the community, and a structured Membership Selection Process to foster brotherhood and continuity.
  • Financial Strength
Building a solid financial foundation through signature fundraising events, responsible budgeting, and strategic partnerships.
  • Community Uplift

  • Operational Excellence
Standardizing chapter operations through documented procedures, streamlined communications, and the adoption of modern technologies.
  • Brand Stewardship
Enhancing the chapter’s presence and reputation by embodying the legacy and values of Omega Psi Phi in all community engagements.
