History
Mu Omicron Chi is a organization whose main purpose is to provide service for our community, build leaders for the future and to show character through our deeds not words. This wasn’t how Mu Omicron Chi started out. In 2010 Stefon Allen while reigning as Mr. Allen University, saw a need for the men on the campus of Allen University to show dignity and authority in one's appearance and manner. So along with him, ten other young men Charles Bell, Demetri Brown, Bryan Cousin, Andrew Dixon-Hammett, Tylan Jennings, Tyreef McBride, Maurice I McCall, Jeremy Moses, Anthony Neal, and Davrin Waters created an organization on the campus called Distinguished Gentlemen on September 8th 2010. Distinguished Gentlemen dissipated as an organization over the course of that year because of the instability of some of the members, but many of the members remained close.In the fall of 2011 Terry Beauford had a similar vision of what Stefon Allen had. Mr. Beauford saw how some of the men of carried their selves and dressed in today’s society and he was unpleased in what and saw and heard. So he wanted to organize a group of men on campus that had character in all that they did. So Mr. Beauford and Stefon brought their ideals together. Mr. Terry Beauford had the vision and Stefon had the guys. So on the night of August 24th 2011 Men of Character was born on that night the men that were in attendance were Stefon Allen, Montery Freeman, Harold Madden, Xavier C Davis, Demetri Brown, and Jerel Palmer. In the next meeting there was Maurice I McCall, Arthur Takeall, Charles Partell, Timothy Bell, and Davrin Waters. They voted Montery Freeman as the president of Men of Character. All these me previously knew each other and already considered each other there brother. Over the next few months working together these twelve gentlemen established the organization on Allen University’s campus by doing community service, tutoring and mentoring their fellow students, holding academic events ect….After many meetings these young men had a vision to grow their organization in to something greater so on November 18th 2011 they decided to make their organization a fraternal order named Mu Omicron Chi.
