Alpha Phi Omega is a National
Coed Service Fraternity. It's three cardinal principles are
Leadership, Friendship & Service. And, yes, before you
ask, it can still be a fraternity even though it is Coed.
APO (as we liked to call it) was founded based on the
principles of the Boy Scouts of America. While most
fraternities do some philanthropic work, that is what APO
is all about. Blood drives, charity fundraisers, and that
sort of thing. When I got to Clark APO was just getting
started there, and I became one of ther chartering brothers
of the Alpha Gamma Beta (AGB) Chapter. My name is on the
charter an everything. I always thought that was kind of
cool. While I have not been terribly active with the
fraternity in the past few years I will always treasure my
experience and my membership, not to mention all the
friends I got out of it. And, as active at the Alumni
Associations are, maybe someday I'll have enough time to
get involved again.
