History
Mu Omicron Gamma is a Christian fraternity that was founded on Sunday September 9, 2001 on the campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Inspired by Psalms 133:1, seven men endeavored to promote Godly Brotherhood, Fellowship, and Discipleship on their college campus. Six men founded Mu Omicron Gamma: I. Watkins, J. Lynch, J. Jackson, A. Jamison, D. Riggins, and D. Goodrich. Additionally, A. Gore (the first member to become inducted into Mu Omicron Gamma Christian Fraternity) is recognized as an honorary founder. These founders are affectionately known as "The Sevolution."
The Greek letters "Mu-Omicron-Gamma" represent the letters "M-O-G" which acronymizes Men of God. Although, the brothers of Mu Omicron Gamma Christian Fraternity sometimes refer to the fraternity as M.O.G., is it not to be confused with Men of God Christian Fraternity which is a completely different organization.
The purpose of Mu Omicron Gamma Christian Fraternity is "to develop Godly young men of valor who will be living epistles that will correctly represent the Lord Jesus Christ in a world where he is misrepresented. The members of Mu Omicron Gamma fulfill this purpose by employing a five point mission to build men of God in five ways: Spiritually, Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Financially.

“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
