Once intiated, you will ALWAYS be a brother of Alpha Phi Omega. By becoming a life member, you will receive a lifetime subscription to the Torch and Trefoil.

Also as a Life Member you receive a Life Member pin, a Life Member card and certificate.

The money you pay for your Life Membership goes into the Fraternities endowment. This helps the National Organization. Where do you think the money comes from to pay for the National Office, the National staff, the publications the chapters get for free, etc.

Yes, you made a lifelong pledge to the Fraternity, and being a Life Member is a way of showing this. This is part of the reason why the Brothers asked for Life Membership to be established back in the 30s.

Furthermore, many help the Fraternity beyond being a Life Member by making a donation to the Fraternity as a Torchbearer.

I am a Life Member, and have made Torchbearer donations for the last 4 years. I also get matching funds from my employer.
