Pledging Information

What is pledging?
Pledging is an eight week process where you learn all about the history, traditions, philosophy, and members of our chapter of Alpha Phi Omega. You will be guided through this process by the current Membership Vice President and Pledgemaster. They are there to help you out and teach you all that you'll need to know. Each pledge will also get a big brother who is assigned to them a few weeks into pledging. Your big brother will be your mentor also and help to guide you through the pleding process.

Requirements
Pledging entails attending service, fellowship, and membership events, learning about the services we provide to campus through our office, chairing (coordinating) chapter events both as an individual and as a pledge class, getting to know your brothers, and learning about our chapter history. It is designed to be an educational, rewarding, and fulfilling experience for all those who choose to take part.

Hazing - we don't do it!
Not only does hazing go against our National bylaws, it's illegal! For those reasons, Alpha Phi Omega does not take part in or condone hazing of any sort. If, for any reason, you ever feel uncomfortable in our fraternity we will do our best to take care of the situation. Pledging is in no way binding, and you are allowed to leave at any time. Also, our alcohol policy abides by all local, state and national laws. Alcohol is not used in conjunction with any of our rush or pledging events.
