Founding Members
of
Omicron Omicron
Bro. Rev. Rogers P. Fair
Omicron Omicron
Chapter Founder
The Rev. Rogers P. Fair was one of the founding Omicron Omicron members. He was also the first chaplain at Bethune-Cookman College, serving as a spiritual adviser for 47 years and touching thousands of students with his ministry.
"His church, family, and the training of young people was his passion," said Jimmy Huger, a longtime friend and former business manager at B-CC in Daytona Beach. "Through his efforts, he channeled a number of young people into the ministry, and they became either ministers or workers in the church."
Fair was active in the community and served on several boards. He gave the sermon at the first integrated Easter sunrise service at the Daytona Beach Bandshell in the 1950s. In 1968, he was the first black person to be appointed to the Daytona Beach Civil Service Board and was reappointed in 1974. In 1987, he was unanimously elected the board's first black chairman.
A year earlier, he served as Florida Conference delegate to the World Methodist Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, and went on preaching missions in nine African nations.
He was listed in Who's Who Among American Clergymen 1973-89 and received hundreds of citations and honors throughout his career. In 1991, he received an award from the Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministries of the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church for "Rare and Most Distinguished Service to Christian Higher Education and Campus Ministries.“
Colleagues and fellow Methodists will remember him for his positive outlook and sense of humor, said longtime friend Clarence Childs. "My office was across the hall from his, and no matter how I was feeling in the morning, he always made me feel lifted for the rest of the day," said Childs, B-CC's vice president of student affairs. "He made everybody laugh and was never at a loss for words. He could have been a stand-up comedian.“
Fair graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 1946. He later attended Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta and earned a master's degree in sociology.
The Methodist Church transferred Fair from South Carolina to Daytona Beach in 1947 to serve as pastor of Stewart Memorial Church and B-CC. His tenure was among the longest in the United Methodist Church.
After retiring from the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church in 1986, Fair continued to serve at the college. He retired in 1994.
Bro. Ed. Rodriguez
Omicron Omicron
Chapter Founder
Dr. Bethune’s foster son Edward Rodriguez graduated from Bethune Cookman College in 1930. He later went on to become the director of the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation.
He was also the second male to register at the school in 1923, when it merged with the Cookman Institute. While a student, he was a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. When the first Wildcats team took the field in 1923, Edward Rodriguez, was a standout contributor on the squad. He helped the team win the Florida Interscholastic Association (FIA) championship the very next year.
Rodriguez, a stylish young man who went by “Rod” and “Pretty Rod” – but never “Ed” or “Eddie,” would eventually receive his associate degree from his foster mother.

Rodriguez later served as the first curator and director of the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation, located on the Bethune-Cookman University campus. The foundation was established on March 17, 1953, as "a place to awaken people and to have them realize that there is something in the world they can do." The foundation is housed in the Mary McLeod Bethune Home, which is also known as "The Retreat.“ Edward Rodriguez retired in 1980.
