Alpha Phi Omega - Alpha Alpha Chapter  

About Us:

Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed service fraternity. Alpha Alpha chapter, here at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, was founded on March 31, 1932. Although our chapter's focus has varied over the years, the recurrent themes pervading our actions and behavior are expressed in our three cardinal principles. These principles are Leadership, Friendship, and Service.

More than just a fraternity...

As a group, APO members volunteer for more than 2500 hours every semester in service to the University of Illinois campus, the Urbana-Champaign community, and the youth of all nations. We sell concessions at the Virginia Theater, as well as at Illini football games. We volunteer at the TIMES Center, SWANN Special Care, Meadowbrook Park and Busey Woods, the Refugee Center where we tutor children, the YMCA, and numerous other children’s events such as carnivals. We assist with several projects for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America. We keep Green Street beautiful through Adopt a Highway between First and Wright Streets. We continuously fundraise for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and run the Etc. Coffeehouse, a substance-free alternative to the bars, on Friday and Saturday nights. Also, we recently began helping the following groups: Faith- In-Action which provides services for the elderly, the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, St. Jude’s Soup Kitchen, and Relay For Life.

More than just a service organization...

APO provides many opportunities for leadership development, including the groundbreaking APO LEADS seminar program, yearly camping trips, and visits to high ropes leadership courses. We also encourage brotherhood among our members, including chapter dinners, parties, and at least three planned fellowship events every week. APO is the largest fraternity in the nation, with chapters on over 1400 campuses in the United States and the Philippines.
