Confirmation!
I found the following in the November 1930 Lightbearer (before the name changed to Torch and Trefoil).
First Name Discarded
The first name suggested was Beta Sigma Alpha, but this was
discarded as being too obvious and a possible opening for ridicule.
The name Alpha Phi Omega was adopted which would carry no infor-
mation except to those concerned and would also result in prestige.
In 1930 Frank Reed Horton was editor of the Lightbearer and thus I think this can be taken as direct verification.
