The Omicron Zeta Chapter was chartered at the University of Florida on Friday, November 5, 1973 under the administrations of Grand Basileus Marion W. Garnett, Seventh District Representative Moses C. Norman, and Florida State Representative Dorsey C. Miller, Jr. The chartering Brothers, known as the "IMPOSSIBLE DREAM", were Bill Bogan, Thomas Rollins, III, John W. Mitchell, Leroy Williams, Tony A. Moss, Michael M. Williams, Johnnie F. Brown, Chauncey L. Taylor, Joe McCloud, Patrick G. Minzie, Eddie Pressley, McArthur Shelton, Jimmie Beasley, Daniel Bell, Edward G. Knowles, Edward Phillips, Felton Phillips, Dale E. Bush, Forrest Johnson, Gonzales Whitter, Michael Jackson, Edward D. Smith and Milton Brown. Cleveland Kiner served as the Chapter's first advisor.
Since its inception, Omicron Zeta has been committed to upholding the ideals of Omega through campus and community involvement and to exemplifying the Four Cardinal Principles in a manner consistent with the noble intentions of the Fraternity's Founders.
OMICRON ZETA LINEAGE
The value of our Fraternity is not in numbers, but in men, in real brotherhood. Eight men thoroughly immersed in the true Omega spirit are far greater assets than eighty with luke-warm enthusiasm. If any chapter has reached the maximum in numbers for efficient work and brotherly cooperation, let it initiate each year only a number of men equal to those leaving the chapter by way of graduation or otherwise.
Men, real men of Omega calibre, strive for that which is most difficult of attainment. Keep Omega the most difficult Greek letter Society in which to obtain membership and be assured that Omega material will never be found lacking.”
