HAPPY BIRTHDAY APO



80 years ago, December 16, Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity was born. It was born out of a desire to form an organization that would be tolerant of the prejudices of the day and would develop a standard of manhood that would stand the test of time. Brothers, we are the stewards during this time in our history of the core values and cardinal principles of our great Fraternity. As we celebrate our 80-year history, may each of us take a moment and reflect on our successes and contemplate our future. May each of us take a moment and be thankful for those who came before us and for those who will come after us. May each of us take a moment and consider our ability to continue to do what APO taught us and help those in our society who are in need. And finally, may each of us take a moment and be appreciative for what we have gained from being part of this brotherhood.



Never forget that a true Alpha Phi Omega member is a servant, a leader, and a friend! On behalf of the National Board of Directors and the National Office Staff I wish every Brother best wishes on the celebration of our Fraternity’s birthday.



In Service/In Brotherhood,



Dr. Fred C. Heismeyer, National President

Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity
