"Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice; say that I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness… We all have the drum major instinct."

Excerpt from The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Drum Major Instinct" sermon, given on February 4, 1968.

Brothers, on January 16th we will be celebrating Martin Luther King's Birthday in a Day of Service. In support of our efforts in the Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative, I am asking brothers to take their children and participate in some act of service.

These acts of outreach to others in volunteerism can be a service project, holiday celebration, prayer breakfast, or any effort to serve others to reinforce the lessons of Dr. King's life. Under the Father and Mentoring initiative I strongly encourage your participation with your children. Be a Drum Major for Service on this day. When you do this send us a note and let us know what you did.

(Brothers, Chapters, Districts, and Friends are encouraged to Email pictures of your "Day of Service" to omegapsiphifraternityinc.MLKDAY@picasaweb.com
Please include a short description of your photo(s) and email address in the subject line of the email. i.e. "Xi Zeta Chapter - Neighborhood Cleanup - jdoe@gmail.com")

Bro. Andrew Ray, 39^th Grand Basileus
