The Path Forward Message From The 26th 7th District Representative

Brothers,

I greet you in the spirit of fellowship and in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Welcome to the official website of the “Mighty” Seventh District of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. It is both an honor and a profound responsibility to serve as your 26th Seventh District Representative, representing the great states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi.

As we stand on the foundation laid by the visionary founders of our beloved Fraternity, we are reminded that Omega Psi Phi was established on November 17, 1911, on the campus of Howard University—marking the beginning of a legacy rooted in manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift. Since 1935, the Seventh District has remained a standard-bearer within our Brotherhood, producing leaders, trailblazers, and impactful service to our communities.

The Path Forward calls us to build upon that legacy with intentionality, innovation, and unity. We are charged not only with preserving our rich traditions, but also with strengthening the bridge between generations, enhancing engagement, and ensuring that every member finds purpose and connection within Omega.

As your District Representative, my commitment is to:

  • Promote excellence and accountability across all chapters
  • Strengthen undergraduate-to-graduate transition and lifelong engagement
  • Expand community impact and strategic partnerships
  • Ensure transparency, efficiency, and forward-thinking leadership

This platform serves as a hub for communication, resources, and connection throughout the District. I encourage you to remain engaged, stay informed, and actively participate in the work that lies ahead.

Together, we will continue to elevate the standard, empower our Brotherhood, and advance the mission of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

Thank you for visiting, and I invite you to walk with us as we embrace The Path Forward.

Fraternally,

Bro. James M. Reed IV
26th 7th District Representative
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
