Alpha Phi Omega

We create inclusive communities for a more peaceful world by developing leaders, fostering friendship among members, and rendering service to all.

APO UBC is the first Canadian chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a National Collegiate Service-based leadership development organization. Alpha Phi Omega is the largest gender-inclusive service organization in the United States and Canada. Since 1925, more than 525,000 members on over 375 campuses have continued to provide more service than any other collegiate service organization. Alpha Phi Omega teaches through the principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service that we are the architects of our own ambitions, with the opportunity to develop ourselves into whatever we aspire to be.

Alpha Phi Omega offers members opportunities to engage in leadership development, service, and fellowship. We recognize that our Cardinal Principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service are not only equal but integral to a comprehensive fraternity experience. These principles develop our members in community-focused, interconnected, and holistic ways, benefiting them throughout their lives. This is the unique value of membership in Alpha Phi Omega.
