Pledge Class Namesakes

A pledge class is indeed a very special and important part of Alpha Phi Omega. Pledges are the fraternity's lifeblood and future. It is therefore fitting that each pledge class be named specifically for those who have meant a great deal to the fraternity. Each Spring semester, the pledge class namesake is selected by Lambda Omicron upon recommendations from chapter members and the Alumni Secretary. The Fall pledge class namesake is chosen by the National Board of Directors.


SPRING 2019 NAMESAKE - LOREN TENNEY 

Loren pledged in Spring 1999 and became an advisor shortly after graduating. Loren has always been an outstanding mediator for the chapter; he is at his best when others are at their worst. Loren has been great at helping the chapter solve interpersonal issues and eliminate drama to put the goals of APO ahead of selfish aims. He has served as an advisor for well over 10 years, and has been to nearly every advisory board meeting during that time. Loren is an outstanding example example of Leadership, Friendship and Service, as shown by his receiving a DSK in Fall 2003. Loren is always willing to step up and help the chapter, including activation and other chapter needs, even as his life outside of APO has gotten increasingly busy.
