Thanks to Joshua Jynes, a former football player and member of current coach Deion Sanders‘s staff, the fraternity was able to make a presence, CBS Colorado reported.⁠

⁠
Jynes’ father and uncle were members of the fraternity, which encouraged him to pledge. Jynes’ uncle, De’Ron Jasper, the assistant athletic director and assistant services and operations at CU, helped in the process. ⁠

“He was like, ‘Oh, I wanted to be an Omega,’ but he didn’t know at the time that Omegas were even around,” Jasper said. “And I had the opportunity to already kind of gauge him, and I was like, I can see him fitting in. How he could help.”⁠
