Alpha Alpha Delta

No, but we are a community service based fraternity with rituals, tradition, and a good sense of camaraderie and bonding among our members. Service, however, is our number one focus. We are not associated with the National Panhellenic Conference, Inter-fraternity Council, or National Pan-Hellenic Council - though we welcome both Greeks and non-Greeks to join.

Yes. During our "rush" period, we hold varying events which are open to anyone interested in joining APO. These often include service projects and fellowship events like a movie or game night. It gives you a chance to get to know members of APO and see if it's something you'd like to be a part of. We extend the opportunity to pledge to anyone with a sincere desire to serve.

Your first semester in APO will be full of opportunities to learn about the organization and find your place in it. That is the essence of the pledge program. You will participate in a pledging ceremony and be assigned to a "big" -- an older APO member who will answer any questions you have and help you figure out the ins and outs of APO.

The pledge period lasts from six to eight weeks. You will attend weekly pledge classes, which will help you to get to know other people as well as the history and purpose of APO. Pledges must complete a minimum of 20 hours of service through chapter organized projects. The pledge class must organize and participate together in a service project. You are initiated as an active member at the conclusion of the pledge period.

No, absolutely not. Hazing is against Salisbury University and Alpha Phi Omega policy.

Absolutely. APO is open to any undergraduate student in good academic standing, and since we are not a social fraternity, joining APO does not conflict with your ability to join or remain a member of an NPC, IFC, or NPHC organization.
