NATIONAL HISTORY OF ALPHA PHI OMEGA:

Once upon a time, Alpha Phi Omega was founded on December 16, 1925 at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania by Frank Reed Horton. There were 14 Charter Members and their goals were to do service, be nonsecretive, and grow in number. The organization was based on the Boy Scouts. H. Roe Bartle, aka “The Chief,” was the second president. In 1976, at the Atlanta National Conference, it was decided that all future chapters would be co-ed and all existing chapters be open to women!
