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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
