About Us

We are a non-profit, national, co-ed service fraternity that has set the standard for college campus-based volunteerism since 1925. We have active chapters on over 350 campuses, and we have striven to help each individual member develop leadership skills, create life-long friendships, and provide service to others. The Alpha Gamma Phi chapter at Northern Kentucky University strives to instill our cardinal principles of leadership, friendship, and service in all of our members so they can become better citizens in their community. We coordinate many service, leadership, and social events each week that we invite you to participate in.

Leadership.

Alpha Phi Omega creates leadership opportunities in every way. Brothers don’t have to be a member of an executive board to be a leader. Leaders exist everywhere, whether they lead by words, action, or example. In APO, we encourage members to discover and develop their leadership styles by creating and participating in events that interest them. The national organization provides leadership programs such as APO LEADS, webinars, and yearly conferences where members can attend leadership development lectures given by APO alumni and staff.

Friendship.

College is more than just going to classes. It’s an experience. A journey. There are trials and hardships that only your peers can understand. In Alpha Phi Omega, our brothers care deeply about each other and are always ready to help a brother in need. Alpha Phi Omega offers more than friendship, but an opportunity to create bonds and lasting relationships through our shared values. Aside from group service opportunities, Alpha Phi Omega creates bonds through exciting fellowship events and our Big/Little mentorship program. Brothers also get to meet make connections on different campuses through interchapter events and official conferences.

Service.

What sets Alpha Phi Omega apart from other fraternities is their dedication to service. Service is the guiding principle that Alpha Phi Omega was founded on, and with a service program that includes everything from going to Florida for Give Kids the World, to helping rebuild homes for Habitat of Humanity, writing letters to soldiers and everything in between, Alpha Phi Omega succeeds in its mission to serve the fraternity, campus, community, and nation. With ties to the Boy Scouts of America, Alpha Phi Omega is one organization (albeit the largest) with a continuous history of service, and our brothers work tirelessly to maintain this status.
