A Leader for a New Era of Omega

My Letter to Omega

Brothers of Omega,

In this critical moment in our beloved Fraternity’s journey, we must be led by more than titles—we must be led by purpose, principle, and a powerful vision for tomorrow. I, Brother Mark Jackson, humbly stand before you as a candidate for the office of Grand Basileus, not merely to serve, but to uplift, to unify, and to lead Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. into a new era of excellence.

For over a century, Omega has stood as a beacon of Black excellence, manhood, and service. But the work is far from over. We face new challenges, greater responsibilities, and a rising demand for relevant, resilient, and revolutionary leadership.

This campaign is not about one man. It is about every Brother—from the youngest neophyte to the most seasoned elder—recognizing that our collective light is brightest when we move in purpose together.

Together, we will restore faith in leadership, rebuild bridges across districts, and reimagine what is possible for Omega Psi Phi.

Rooted in purpose. Rising with vision. Moving Omega forward.

Fraternally,

Brother Mark Jackson
