Chartered in 1970 in Montgomery County, Maryland, the Mu Nu Chapter of The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has been a beacon of tireless service for over five decades. Our impact extends from our local community to the broader reaches of Maryland, the Second District of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, the United States, and across the globe.

The Birth of Mu Nu

The visionary behind Mu Nu Chapter was the late Brother Rudolph W. Snowden, an alumnus of North Carolina A&T University. After relocating to Montgomery County in 1968, Brother Snowden, despite his demanding role as Assistant Principal at Gaithersburg Junior High School, embarked on a mission to unite Omega Men in the area. 

On May 9, 1970, Brother Rudolph W. Snowden convened the first meeting to establish a new chapter. Just a week later, on May 16, he gathered with 21 other dedicated men for a second meeting. Their efforts quickly bore fruit, as the Mighty Mu Nu chapter received its charter on May 23, 1970. The chapter's formation was officially recognized on June 1, 1970, when Brother H. Carl Moultrie, the National Executive Secretary of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated, sent a letter approving the charter.

A Tradition of Excellence

Since its inception, Mu Nu Chapter has been a cornerstone of service in Montgomery County. Our members embody the Cardinal Principles of Omega Psi Phi - Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift - in every aspect of their work.

 

We continue to honor the legacy of our founders and charter members, dedicating ourselves to the betterment of our community. The spirit of service that Brother Snowden and the twenty-two charter members instilled remains the driving force behind Mu Nu Chapter's ongoing contributions to Montgomery County and beyond.
