membership in alpha phi omega
Alpha Phi Omega is a National Service Fraternity — college students gathered together in an organization based on fraternalism and founded on the principles of the Boy Scouts of America. Its purpose is to develop leadership, promote friendship and provide service to humanity.
Pledges represent our hope for the future. Our principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service. They provide a strong base on which to build a successful standard of conduct. It is our hope that you will embrace them, live by them, and share them with others. We wish you great success a you embark upon a lifetime of service in Alpha Phi Omega.
who can join
Any student duly enrolled on the campus where a chapter exists, who joins with the chapter’s members in their service projects, accepts the principles of Scouting on which the Fraternity’s ideals are based, and meets the standards of the chapter.
why should you join
College should be more than the acquisition of facts and figures; it also should broaden your experiences, expand and test your inherent abilities, and sharpen your social skills. Alpha Phi Omega, through its unique program of leadership, friendship and service, can add this necessary but often lacking aspect of college life, and at the same time enable you to help others while helping yourself.
how can you join
There are several approaches:
- Ask an Alpha Phi Omega brother on your campus, your dorm or the
Student Activities office.
- Contact the chapter at its office (many campuses provide Alpha
Phi Omega office space) or at one of its service projects.
- Ask the Student Activities Office for the name, address and
telephone number of the Alpha Phi Omega president or the chapter
office.
A Pledge Program is conducted for new Pledges:
- To serve as an introduction to Alpha Phi Omega.
- To inform you about about our Fraternity, past and present.
- To allow you to qualify in Leadership, Friendship and Service.
- To give you, as a Pledge, and the chapter a trial period during which the chapter can decide if it wants to invite you to become a Brother and you can decide if you want to accept such an invitation.
