What is the official relationship between Alpha Phi Omega and Scouting?
Alpha Phi Omega was founded on the principles of Scouting. The Boy Scouts of America, however, does not govern, control, or finance Alpha Phi Omega in any way, and previous membership in Scouting is not required to join our Fraternity. Back to top. Q: How Can You Be A Fraternity If You Don’t Have A House? A: Alpha Phi Omega is unique; it is a “Service” fraternity. We use the concepts of fraternalism as a means of providing service to ourselves as well as to others. The fact that our meetings are held in campus meeting rooms or our members’ apartments or dorm rooms does not decrease our sense of brotherhood. In addition, since we are unique, we have no conflict with social fraternities; independents, commuters, dorm dwellers, and social fraternity members — all are able to become members of Alpha Phi Omega.
