EDITOR'S NOTE: For the Good of the Order is an occasional series highlighting the accomplishments of the men of Gamma Pi Chapter.
Gamma Pi Chapter's most distinguished member, Charter Member and first Basileus Brother Timothy McIntosh, was recognized and honored recently at neighboring Mu Nu Chapter's 55th Anniversary Celebration. He was presented a medallion as a 1970 charter member of Mu Nu, which is based in nearby Rockville, MD in Montgomery County. Brother McIntosh is a founding member of Mu Nu along with Former Vice Grand Basileus Brother Dr. Adam McKee. Brother McIntosh was also Gamma Pi’s ninth Basileus.
Brother McIntosh's recognition and award is really something that is shared with the entire community. As a result of his pioneering two Omega Psi Phi chapters in the DMV area, the local communities in Prince George's and Montgomery counties have benefited greatly from tens of thousands of hours of social action work that have come from both chapters that he helped start. He has tocuhed mroe lives than he can count from helping bring hundreds of Omega men together in two neighboring counties.
Omega Psi Phi Second District Representative Amir Shareef wrote in recognition of the celebration: “This anniversary is not only remembrance, but gratitude. Gratitude to the charter members and men like Brother Grand Adam McKee, whose spirit and service continue to shape the chapter’s path. Gratitude to men like Timothy McIntosh, whose contributions remind us that no progress is ever made alone."
In his anniversary remarks, Brother McIntosh, a retrted senior federal employee, reflected on the fact that he was initiated in 1959 into Tau Psi Chapter at North Carolina Central University (then named North Carolina College). He stated that he never in his wildest dreams thought that he would be helping to charter a chapter in which one of his deceased Line Brothers’ son-in-law would be a financial member.
Brother McIntosh's admonition to the group was highlighting just how swiftly time passes, seemingly with the blinking of an eye. He mentioned that it has been 66 years since his initiation, 55 years since the chartering of Mu Nu Chapter and he is currently enjoying a healthy and happy life at the ripe "young" age of 86.
Mu Nu and Gamma Pi chapters and the Montgomery and Prince George's communities appreciate the contributions of this 66-year member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
