START A CHAPTER
Through managed growth, dedication and a strong relationship between the Fraternity and the host institution, Alpha Phi Omega will continue to expand by adding new chapters and growing existing chapters in our effort to be more than 100,000 student servant leaders strong.
Alpha Phi Omega is committed to providing campus and community servant leaders with a positive experience through our service and leadership opportunities. On average, APO welcomes 10-15 new chapters each year. The process of adding a new chapter or reviving an inactive chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is made possible by the hard work and cooperation of interested students, host institutions, and volunteers, through a structured process developed to ensure chapter health for years to come.
Building or re-building a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is a substantial undertaking. It will require patience, time and dedication; however, it will also be a tremendously rewarding experience for all involved.
APO is an inclusive group, open to all nationalities, backgrounds and genders, and we welcome you to become part of our amazing organization so that together…
we can 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.
STEP ONE
DOES YOUR CAMPUS HAVE A CHAPTER?
Since the founding in 1925, APO has been on hundreds of campuses. In fact, there may be a chapter on your campus!
Check out the Fraternity’s chapter map to determine if there is a chapter on your campus already. If there’s a chapter or extension group already on your campus – great! We can get you connected with the student leaders of that group by completing the form below.
Once submitted, the student leaders on your campus will be notified that you are interested in learning more about APO and how to join their efforts. If you don’t hear back from them within 10 business days, please email the National Office at [email protected] for assistance.
If there isn’t a chapter on your campus, proceed to step two!
