Is there anywhere we can access this book or is there some other place we can find this information? I'm generally quite interested in the history of the fraternity bu the only info I've seen are the things readily available.

Also, nice find on this tid-bit about the first African American brother. It's nice to know APO was ahead of the curve in many respects and in my mind at leas is a great example of living out our core values.

There was one published in 93 or 94, but it is out of print. I have obtained copies from www.abebooks.com in the past.

There is also a 75th anniversary history CD ROM available from the national office.

Fall of 1993, I believe. The title on the Spine is Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity. The front cover title is Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity 1925-1993. The last charter in the list of chapters chartered August 1993.


I thoroughly recommend the 75th anniversary CD. There is definitely some useful information on there, and I really like the recording of the Toast Song done by the brothers from Zeta Phi @ Howard.
