Leadership
Alpha Phi Omega offers its members many opportunities for leadership development. At the chapter level, a pledge may serve on various committees. Once an active brother, a student may become an officer and is expected to serve on a chapter committee. At the Sectional, Regional, and National levels, workshops and conferences are held regularly to develop leadership among members. These are important skills, not only within the chater but also in life.

Friendship
While offering valuable leadership opportunities, a distinguishing characteristic of APO is its many social activities. Chapter activities to promote friendship include picnics, retreats, and parties held after meetings and service projects.

Service
Alpha Phi Omega is the only national fraternity with service as its primary mission. Community projects have included organizing neighborhood cleanups, working in nursing homes, helping at Ronald McDonald House, and many, many others... There are also campus projects such as ushering at official university events, assisting and orientating new students, tutoring, and volunteering in campus offices.
