I wonder if they are working with Alpha Chi Pi Omega Fraternity and Sorority, Inc., which is a non-college organization for Beauticians and Barbers.

The main reason that I know about them is that they were founded as Alpha Phi Omega in 1945 and changed in 1952. (https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/40136004/) I do a *lot* of research on other groups called Alpha Phi Omega other than Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity.
