![]() ![]() We become introverted, concentrated on our own selfish 4 n Alpha Phi OmegaĮnds, forgetful that we come this way but once and that our challenge is to serve others. Without constant reminders, teaching, help and advice, even the best of us lose sight of our larger goals. Why, Leadership then, a national Friendship fraternity? If what is important is what Service happens in the local chapter, then why the need for a National Office, a magazine, a common ritual, a professional staff, national officers, and national dues and fees? Why not just a very loose federation of independent local groups rather than all the paraphernalia of a national organization? The most obvious reason is to help us keep our goals before us. The status of APO results directly Cardinal from the maturity and meaningfulness Principles: of the local chapter programs. The future of APO is entirely in the hands of the students who determine on each local campus what the APO program shall be. The importance of APO consists of what happens to the individuals who are pledged and initiated in these local chapters. The strength of APO lies in its active chapters. We want to share with colleges and universities all across this great land the benefits that APO gives to students, their campuses and their communities. We dedicate ourselves to become larger only because, if what we are and what we represent are important and useful to students, then we should share what we have in order to further our common goals more effectively. We take pride in this and hope to be even larger. ![]() WHY A NATIONAL FRATERNITY? ALPHA PHI OMEGA is the single most represented intercollegiate service organization in the United States.
