Pledge Process

Whether you are currently pledging, or are simply interested in APO it is a good idea to understand the process by which you will be come an active in Alpha Phi Omega. Some of it is hard, but all of it is fun, and designed to prepare you for active membership in APO

The process begins with our info/rush week events. This is your time to get information on the fraternity as a whole, and learn more about the brothers of which you could possibly be joining. We offer a wide variety of rush events ranging from bowling and In 'n Out runs (where we'll pay for your food) to service events that we continue throughout the semester. Even if you are unsure of your ability to willingness to pledge a fraternity, you're free to come out and see if it's interesting and fun. There is no obligation to join even after attending rush events.

If, after rush week, you decide Alpha Phi Omega is for you, you'll be welcomed to join in the pledge process. The pledge process includes a pledge pinning, as well as a full semester of pledgeship under the Pledgemaster (or, pledge mom or dad, as it may be) of APO. This person will prepare you for the tests and requirements to gain active memberships. That's right, tests, but don't worry- they are passable tests and we understand you have other commitments- we just want to make sure that APO is on your radar. There is also a set of requirements for the pledges to meet, which can be found here. Having passed these requirements, you are elligible to become an active in Alpha Phi Omega.

The final step in becoming an active, is the initation ceremony. While we can't disclose any information on the event, it is more or less a celebration of your accomplishments.

If, after reading all of this, you still have questions. feel free to contact our president, pledgemaster, or any other position that relates to your question. A list of officers can be found here.
