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.
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 concerned.
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 sametime enable you to help others while helping yourself.
Alpha Phi Omega was founded on the principles of Scouting. The Boy Scouts of America, however, does not govern, control, or finance Alpha Phi Omega in any way, and previous membership in Scouting is not required to join our Fraternity.
