Congratulations to Ian Rowan, winner of the 2024 Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, International High School Essay Contest! We are thrilled to honor his exceptional essay, “Under the Influence,” selected by the Epsilon Iota Chapter of Austin, Texas.

We are proud to honor Morgan Warren, winner of the 2023 Omega Psi Phi Fraternity International High School Essay Contest, sponsored by the Epsilon Iota Chapter in Austin, Texas. Her powerful essay, “The Power of One Vote,” stood out for its clarity, conviction, and inspiring call to civic action.

Morgan, a standout from Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, Texas, passionately argued that every vote matters—and that young Americans, especially Generation Z, hold the key to shaping our collective future.

Now, as Morgan embarks on her studies at Hampton University this fall, we anticipate her promising academic and civic journey ahead.

The Epsilon Iota Foundation proudly supported 12-year-old Jeremiah Anglin of Lonestar Soccer Club, recently promoted to the ECNL, in his journey to the International Carnaval Cup 2025 in Barcelona. Jeremiah competed against top youth teams like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Arsenal’s elite academies.

Off the field, Jeremiah holds a 90‑average, leads his school’s honor society, volunteers with Epsilon Iota and the 100 Black Men of America in Austin. We’re honored to have contributed to his travel and competition expenses. He proudly represented our chapter and embodied our Cardinal Principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift.
