Thousands attend Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.’s 83rd Grand Conclave

Thousands of members of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. are attending its 83rd Grand Conclave at the Charlotte Convention Center.

Channel 9 spoke with a group of fraternity brothers who traveled from Houston to be in the Queen City.

Two of them said they have been honored to be in the fraternity for the last 40 years.

Another man in the group told Channel 9 that he is the first in his family to attend college.

John Kimble said that Omega Psi Phi has been supportive over the years.

“I was able to find myself through the brotherhood and support,” Kimble said. “Right now, I’m a principal in Houston, Texas, and I’ve had a lot of mentors through this fraternity to help guide me on this path.”
