Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity


Alpha Phi Omega is a gender-inclusive National Service Fraternity established in 1925. More than 500,000 students on 300+ college campuses have chosen Alpha Phi Omega, making it the nation’s largest Greek letter fraternity. Our purpose is to develop leadership, promote friendship, and provide service to humanity.

Alpha Phi Omega Mission


“We create inclusive communities for a more peaceful world in which to make a life, by developing leaders, uniting members through friendship and rendering service to all.”

Alpha Phi Omega Members


Membership in Alpha Phi Omega is open to all enrolled students and is as diverse as the college population itself. Currently there are approximately 25,000 active chapter members with over 500,000 alumni. Alpha Phi Omega is the single most representative undergraduate intercollegiate organization in the United States of America. Each chapter, operating under the National Bylaws and Standard Chapter Articles of Association, recruits its own membership, selects its leadership and develops its service program. University or college approval is required for each chapter to be in good standing with the National Fraternity. Nationally, Alpha Phi Omega is governed by a biennial convention composed of student delegates from each chapter. Voting delegates at each convention consider legislation; elect a volunteer National Board of Directors and set fees and priorities. The National Office in Kansas City, Missouri, provides supplies and other resources and coordinates national educational programs, such as leadership development workshops, service exchanges and national programs.
