10. Recite "Invictus": Invictus By William
Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit
from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the
bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but
unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror
of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and
shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of
my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

THE FIFTIES

were role models serving the community and exuding the true quality of Omega men. The Chapter continued to experience growth and expansion in its active membership
roster. The Brothers of Chi Omega were prepared to take on the challenges that were about to occur in the social and economical fiber of our society.
