Alpha Phi Omega spreads to two other institutions
Alpha Phi Omega has recently instituted two new chapters, one at the University of Pittsburgh and the other at Cornell University.
A distinctive Lafayette enterprise, Alpha Phi Omega was established in 1925 by Frank Reed Horton '26. It is essentially an honor intercollegiate fraternity whose members are selected on the basis of scholastic rating, extra-curriculum activities and good fellowship.
It has been noted that many students have erroneously spoken of Alpha Phi Omega as having been associated with the boy scout movement. Even though the majority of its members have been at one time associated with scouting, and though several of its members have entered the field of professional scouting and have fostered the establishment of scout troops in Easton, Alpha Phi Omega is not in any way affiliated with the national boy scout movement.
