Our Purpose:
The purpose of Alpha Phi Omega shall be to assemble college students in a National Service Fraternity in the fellowship of principles derived from the Scout Oath and Law of the Boy Scouts of America; to develop Leadership, to promote Friendship and to provide Service to humanity; and to further the freedom that is our national, educational and intellectual heritage.
A Brief History:
The history of Alpha Phi Omega is a story of Leadership, Friendship and Service. Since the founding at Lafayette College in 1925, more than 300,000 students have participated in this nationwide Brotherhood. From a single chapter in 1925, this National Service Fraternity has grown to 711 chapters with 350 currently active.
The chapter here at Quinnipiac University was founded in 1960 and reestablished in 2000.
Weekly Meetings:
The Nu Alpha Chapter at Quinnipiac University has weekly meetings on Sundays starting at 7:00pm in the College of Arts and Sciences 1, room number 107. The Executive Board meets one hour prior to this at 6:00pm each week in the same room.
Our Cardinal Principles:
Leadership, Friendship, Service
Our Motto:
Be a Leader, Be a Friend, Be of Service
Friendship:
Brotherhood is the spirit of friendship. It implies respect, honesty and dependability. It means that we overlook differences and emphasize similarities as we join together in unselfish service. It means listening to Brothers whose views on issues might differ from our own. It means working closely with people whom under other circumstances we might not choose as our friends.
