It's
a service fraternity. When most people think of fraternities, they think of
social fraternities, in which the greatest emphasis is placed upon a sense of
belonging to a group. Wild Parties, flag football, pranks... all fine in their
own right. But Alpha Phi Omega has a greater cause: that of service. Under the
guiding principles of leadership, friendship, and service, Alpha Phi Omega
provides service to the community by donating time and effort to various
organizations and causes.
It's
open to anyone. First of all, even though we are technically a fraternity,
membership in Alpha Phi Omega is not open only to men. Anyone, from the
brainiest bookworm to the wildest wild-child can join. You can even be in
another social fraternity or sorority. The only criterion is that you have an
earnest desire to help out those that need it.
It's
a national organization. It's not only here that students have the opportunity to
join this great organization. In fact, Alpha Phi Omega is the largest co-ed
service fraternity in the world, with more than 256,000 members on 687 campuses
across the nation. Everyone is welcome at APO!
