Letter From the Basileus
Greetings Brothers of Omega and Visitors!
Welcome to the 2026 Ques Mardi Gras Weekend!
On behalf of the Theta Rho International Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., proudly founded in Frankfurt, Germany in 1962, it is my distinct honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2026 Ques Mardi Gras Weekend. As the Mother Pearl of Europe, Theta Rho is proud to host this celebration of brotherhood, culture, and fellowship in the heart of Frankfurt.
This weekend, we come together in the true spirit of Omega—to celebrate unity, legacy, and the enduring bonds that connect Ques across generations and continents. Ques Mardi Gras Weekend is more than a social gathering; it is a reflection of our shared history, our vibrant present, and our commitment to carrying Omega Psi Phi forward with pride and purpose.
Guided by the Fraternity’s theme, “Impactful Service through Intentional Friendship,” we are reminded that our strength lies in our relationships with one another. The friendships we cultivate—rooted in trust, respect, and shared purpose—are the foundation of the service we render and the impact we leave within our communities worldwide.
Founded over six decades ago, the Theta Rho International Chapter has remained steadfast in upholding the cardinal principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. From community engagement and youth mentorship to scholarship and social action initiatives, our chapter continues to serve as a beacon of Omega excellence throughout Europe and beyond.
Throughout this weekend of celebration, fellowship, and tradition, we encourage you to reconnect with old friends, forge new bonds, and enjoy the unique energy that only Ques Mardi Gras Weekend can offer. Let us celebrate responsibly, fellowship wholeheartedly, and honor the rich legacy entrusted to us by those who came before.
Thank you for joining us in Frankfurt as we celebrate Omega, celebrate brotherhood, and celebrate the enduring spirit of Theta Rho. Together, we will continue to strengthen our bonds, uplift our communities, and represent Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. with distinction—wherever we may be in the world.
Welcome to Frankfurt. Welcome to Ques Mardi Gras Weekend 2026.
In Friendship and Fraternity,
Joe Monroe II
