Football Coach Wendell Mosley had been a member of a Lampodos Club, but there were no more facts immediately available, and no follow-up. |

During this and the following year, a support group, the "Pearls of Omega" was formed. It was a formal group, with president, secretary, etc., and was personally supervised by a Brother of Pi Delta.
