SR135: SR135 Theta Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.; recognize

This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Theta Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., which has served Fayette and Coweta counties since 2002, for its scholarship, mentorship, and community service work. The resolution details the chapter's activities, including $500,000 in college scholarships, academic mentoring, holiday meal distribution, school supply donations, disaster relief after tornadoes in Newnan, highway cleanups, an annual toy drive that exceeded $10,000 in 2024, blood drives credited with saving over 845 lives, cancer awareness events, and voter registration drives. The Senate directs its Secretary to provide a copy of the resolution to the chapter as a keepsake honoring this recognition.

• Formally recognizes and commends the Theta Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. for its service to Fayette and Coweta counties.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the chapter.
• Extends the Senate's best wishes for the chapter's continued success, without creating any new legal requirements or funding.

The resolution directly names the Theta Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. and, by extension, residents of Fayette and Coweta counties who have received scholarships, mentoring, meals, school supplies, disaster relief, and other community services from the chapter.
