A ‘greasy pit' serving grilled food, with live music, and a bouncy castle for children, kicked-off  fund-raising events for Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc, Pi Xi Chapter’s 2025 Achievement Week activities.

Organised for the last 30 years by the Greasy Pit Fundraising Committee, in conjunction with the Chapter’s Executive Committee, the overall goal was to raise $30,000 towards the group’s Scholarship Programme, in which partial scholarships opportunities are awarded to young men from the community.

Scholarships are not only limited to the University of The Bahamas but also at International Universities.

A service at the New Destiny Cathedral, on Gladstone Road, was well attended by the Brotherhood, as members collectively renewed their faith in God and reaffirmed their commitment to Christian Manhood.

Following the service,  a luncheon was held, paying tribute to, honouring, and recognising this year’s essay competition and scholarship winners, dedicated sponsors, and - most importantly - several own Brothers who demonstrated exemplary courage and leadership throughout the year.

On Founders Day, the momentum continued with another event, providing the opportunity for bonding through football and fellowship. Brothers had the opportunity to connect, laugh, and engage in meaningful conversation—strengthening their bonds and reinforcing the spirit of brotherhood.

The next major event was a collaborative effort among the Pi Xi, AEB, and KLL Chapters of Omega Psi Phi, who hosted an engaging seminar on the University of The Bahamas campus titled “Strategising for Success: Setting the Pillars.”

The seminar provided an opportunity to impart valuable knowledge and provide practical tools to the younger generation - equipping them to live impactful lives rooted in strong physical, financial, mental, and most importantly, spiritual foundations. The goal was to uplift and edify the whole man.

To close out Achievement Week, the Chapter hosted the Davidson “Terribly Well” Hepburn Fun Run Walk & Beach Cleanup. Brothers and youth participants took part in a 3K run/walk, followed by a community stewardship effort to gently sweep and clean the surrounding beach areas. This event served as a meaningful way for us to uphold and pay tribute to our Cardinal Principles - Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift - and to honour our Founders and the enduring legacy of our Fraternity.
