"Strange is our situation here upon earth.
Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet
sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the
standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we
do know: that man is here for the sake of other
men."

On the one-year anniversary of the Virginia

to remember the lives lost and the lives damaged
during a campus shooting that took the lives of 32

LIE-IN on the College of New Jersey campus in
order to pay tribute to the fallen and to a day
that will remain engraved in the history books of
college campuses nationwide.

Technique
Beta
Zeta Chapter at the University of Georgia held a
recruitment period at the beginning of the spring

decided to step outside their usual recruiting
techniques and get face-to-face with their peers
to spread the word about Alpha Phi Omega and its
mission.

Zeta did to add 12 new pledges to their chapter in
