Brotherhood is one of the main reasons why Bro. Bently Senegal joined the fraternity.

“The fraternity has provided me with a lifelong network of brotherhood and friends, said Bro. Senegal who crossed Upsilon Rho in 1991.

Beyond the cardinal principles, Bro. Senegal said Omega has given him the opportunity to walk into diverse spaces.

“I’ve been all over the country and have received mutual respect and support through the Omega brotherhood,” Bro. Senegal said, who is a certified public accountant specializing in healthcare for over 40 years.

“Through Omega, I’ve been able to create a legacy of impact, whether in various boardrooms, through community service or social action,” he said.

Communíty service is not foreign to Bro. Senegal. He is currently the director of mission integration and formation at Our Lady of Lordes which includes his community service work to coordinate the completion of the hospitals community health needs assessment.

Bro. Senegal community service work has included development of programs for the city’s homeless population at St. Bernadette’ Clinic, Northside School Based Health Center and Congregational Health Services.

“Community service is an exercise in servant leadership for me.” Bro. Senegal said.
“Putting others first and helping people develop and perform as highly as possible is the goal.”

Since joining the fraternity, Bro. Senegal said he has seen its growth and commitment to social justice.

“The scope of services has broaden to meet the needs of our communities,” said Senegal, who has been married over 40 years.

“There is a much clearer focus on specific health crises affecting Black men. The fraternity has become a more vocal advocate against systemic inequalities.”
