History Of
Alpha Phi Omega


Alpha Phi Omega is a National Service Fraternity, founded December 16, 1925 at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania. There are currently over 300 active chapters at colleges and universities accross the United States of America. The National Bylaws state our purpose:

The purpose of this fraternity shall be to assemble college students in a National Service Fraternity in the fellowship of the principles of Alpha Phi Omega; to develop Leadership, to promote Friendship, and provide Service to humanity; and to further the freedom that is our national, educational, and intellectual heritage. The rich heritage of Alpha Phi Omega is derived from the fellowship of the principles of the Boy Scouts of America as embodied in its Scout Oath and Law.

Each chapter typically has their own local bylaws governing specifics of their operation.
