What Types of Monetary Costs Will Pledging Require?
Unlike traditional fraternities, APO has a significantly smaller charge for membership dues. As set by the national Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity, pledging dues come at two points: at the induction into pledge ship and initiation into brotherhood. Inductions are at the beginning of the pledge period and initiations are at the end of the pledge period. Dues are the main source of income that provide the national fraternity and local chapters with an operating budget that enable such things costs for publications, conventions, administrative functions, chapter banquets, pledge manuals, pins & ornaments, and most importantly funding for a majority of the service projects that chapters run.
