PORTLAND, Ore. – The Brothers of the Massive and Progressive 12th District met for the 80th 12th District Meeting, hosted by Zeta Nu Chapter (Portland, Ore), May 15-18. Value was provided to the brotherhood, the greater Portland community benefited and the brothers held a productive meeting.

The meeting kicked off May 15 and  saw the brothers host the annual golf outing at East Moreland Golf Course. The Brothers also hosted a S.T.E.M. program at De La Salle North Catholic High School. Brothers from Chi Beta, Phi Beta Beta, Zeta Mu and Zeta Nu took part in the event, which educated students on various careers in S.T.E.M., college advice and even tested water samples for contaminants to give students a hands-on experience. 

The night included the Spiritual Revival, that included praise and worship service and the word delivered by Omega Men from throughout the District. 

The youth were also highlighted again on Saturday in the Talent Hunt, which was won by Tau Tau Chapter’s representative, Ayanna Greenidge.

There were events and hospitality suites throughout the weekend. Registered brothers were able to shop at the Nike Employee Store in Beaverton, Ore. Suites hosted by sororities of the Divine (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho) allowed brothers to eat and fellowship without having to leave the hotel, if they chose to do so.

Weekend activities also included premium whiskey tasting, a 1980s-themed party that saw many people breakout their Adidas track suits and the Founders’ Banquet to conclude the weekend. 

The 81st 12th District Meeting will be May 14-17 in San Diego, hosted by Phi Omicron, Xi Gamma Gamma and Rho Nu Nu Chapters.
