ALPHA PHI OMEGA’S 100 YEARS OF SUCCESS WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS WHO HAVE PUSHED THE BOUNDARIES OF LEADERSHIP, FRIENDSHIP AND SERVICE SINCE ITS CREATION. We celebrate you and the countless members who have made our Fraternity what it is today! After careful consideration of all nominees, a task force has selected 100 members who have stood out through their dedication not only to Alpha Phi Omega, but to Leadership, Friendship and Service. These members have strived for excellence, crafting our National Fraternity into a unique organization open to anyone seeking to make a difference.
Alpha Phi Omega’s Top 100 Members recognition honors brothers who have demonstrated unparalleled dedication to APO’s mission over the course of their membership and to their communities. Selection as an honoree celebrates enduring commitment to Leadership, Friendship and Service — values that have undoubtedly shaped both their personal, professional and community success.
Creating this list of the Top 100 members from APO’s first century was an immense challenge and not a perfect process. With tens of thousands of brothers who have embodied Leadership, Friendship and Service throughout our history, narrowing the selection to just 100 names was truly impossible – there are countless members whose contributions, dedication and impact on their chapters, communities and the world at large deserve recognition. This list should be viewed as a sampling of the extraordinary brothers who exemplify the Cardinal Principles and serve as inspiring examples for future members. Every member who has lived out APO’s Cardinal Principles has contributed to our Fraternity’s legacy, and while we celebrate these 100 honorees, we honor all brothers who have made Alpha Phi Omega the remarkable organization it is today.
Members in this list who have passed on are marked with an asterisk.
