Leave college with more than a degree

College should be more than the acquisition of facts and figures; it should also 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.

Leadership In Alpha Phi Omega

If society were composed of things –books, machines, gadgets — then a college experience consisting solely of academics would adequately prepare you for life. But, society is people, and whenever people interact with each other the need for leadership arises. So, Alpha Phi Omega offers a college student the opportunity to practice and develop leadership.

Each chapter is a microcosm of our republican form of democracy, with leadership selected by the majority of the membership. Every chapter organization has many positions with differing responsibilities, allowing every member the opportunity to lead, and allowing for increasing responsibilities as experience and performance merit.

The Fraternity has numerous leadership development seminars and workshops which will help you enhance your skills. These are offered by each chapter and at various conferences during which chapters from many colleges meet.

Leadership in Alpha Phi Omega goes beyond your graduation. Opportunities for service in the Regional, National, and Alumni spheres are possible and are a fine way to make and continue friendships with members across the nation.

Thus, Alpha Phi Omega offers you a great opportunity to grow in leadership as you give service to your fellow man.

Friendship

With so many campus groups from which to choose, students have carefully examined organizations on their campuses. Since 1925 more than 280,000 students have chosen Alpha Phi Omega. Other organizations do service, and there are social fraternities, but no one and no organization does these things the way Alpha Phi Omega does. That is why Alpha Phi Omega is now and continues to be the nation’s largest Greek letter fraternity.

The relationships which are founded and developed in the activities of Alpha Phi Omega are indescribably lasting and indeed something to treasure. They endure long after college, long after friends move apart, long after your career develops. The fellowship of Alpha Phi Omega is, plainly and simply, the quality which has made us the biggest and we believe, the best collegiate organization in the world, whoever you are, and wherever you are.

Alpha Phi Omega wants to share its activities and purpose with you. We want you to become part of us so that together we can pursue leadership, friendship, and service.

Service

Alpha Phi Omega is the only international fraternity with service as its primary mission.

While there is a great diversity in the types of service programs conducted from chapter to chapter, they all serve to make up a great national ministry to human need, conducted exclusively by college students.

In an effort to make a nationwide impact, Alpha Phi Omega during its National Convention adopts a Program of Emphasis every two years. All chapters are encouraged to develop service projects which will benefit the designated groups. All chapters are encouraged to coordinate and conduct service projects involving other service groups on the campus and in the community.

Alpha Phi Omega’s program is directed to four areas: campus, community, nation, and members.
