Rho Gamma Gamma | Message from the Basileus

Greetings and welcome to the official website of the Rho Gamma Gamma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

Since our chartering on March 1, 1987, Rho Gamma Gamma has proudly stood as a beacon of Omega excellence throughout the Chicagoland area and beyond. Our chapter embodies the Four Cardinal Principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift—principles that continue to guide our mission, inspire our programs, and define the character of our Brotherhood.

Today, Rho Gamma Gamma is a diverse collective of over 188 men representing excellence across every professional field—military, medicine, education, technology, business, law enforcement, and public service. Yet beyond titles and professions, our strength lies in our unity and our shared commitment to the uplift of our community.

As the newly elected 23rd Basileus, I am both humbled and honored to serve this Phenomenal chapter. I am reminded of Luke 12:48—“To whom much is given, much is required.” With that truth at the forefront of my mind, I pledge to lead with integrity, compassion, and purpose. Our mission during this administration is clear: to Level Up.

We take great pride in initiatives such as our monthly Food Pantry, which feeds hundreds of families; our OMEGA Y.E.S. Mentoring Program, which shapes young men aged 13–18; our STEM Committee, which prepares youth for the future; and our annual events that fund scholarships and community uplift programs. These efforts represent who we are—The Essential Chapter—and strengthen our belief that our Fraternity motto, “Friendship is Essential to the Soul,” is more than words; it’s our way of life.

To our Brothers, community partners, and visitors—thank you for taking the time to learn about our work. I invite you to stay connected, get involved, and join us as we continue to serve with purpose and passion.

In Friendship and Service,

Will Baker
