How to become a Pledge New members become official Pledges
by attending one of two Induction ceremonies. These are
held at the end of our Rush period,
a few weeks after the start of class. You do not need
to attend rush activities to become a Pledge, but they
are a great way to learn about our chapter. Check out
our calendar for up-to-date
events and induction dates.
Pledge Program Objectives
(from the APO Pledge Manual) A Pledge Program is conducted for
you, the new Pledge Member:
To serve as an introduction
to Alpha Phi Omega.
To inform you about
our fraternity, past and present.
To allow each individual
to qualify in Leadership, Friendship and Service.
To give you, as
a Pledge, and the chapter a trial period during which
the chapter can decide if it wants to invite you to
become a brother and you can decide if you want to
accept such an invitation.
APO does not tolerate any
hazing or informal initiation. Your Pledge Program will allow
you to demonstrate your interest in service, but in
no way will it demean you as an individual or require
you to perform personal service for the Brothers.
