Joining APO

So, you’re interested in APO? First, we suggest that you come and meet us! Everyone is welcome at our weekly chapter meetings as well as at most service and fellowship projects. Our chapter meetings are on Wednesdays in Lawrence 166 at 6PM. Check out our Calendar  for dates and times of upcoming events.

To become a member of APO, you must go through the “Pledging” process, just like the social (Greek) fraternities. The process is a time of learning and a time where you can get to know our chapter. After that time, you can choose if you want to become a member and if APO is right for you.

APO has strict guidelines prohibiting hazing of members and visitors. Drugs and alcohol are prohibited at all events put on by our organization. For more information, please see our National Risk Management Policy (covering hazing) and our chapter’s Drug and Alcohol Policy.

A quick summary of pledging:

Pledging is a 7 week process.
Pledges learn the history, traditions and fundamentals of the national Fraternity and the Zeta Psi Chapter.

Pledges get a chance to get to know all of the members of our local chapter of APO.

Pledges are invited to participate in ALL fraternity activities during the pledging term.

Pledges who are still interested after the pledge term is over may be initiated as members.

Pledges are entitled to most rights of current, active members and may take on responsibilities and leadership roles.

Pledges create and implement one service project and one fellowship project as a group, to learn what it’s like to make our program.

Pledges have FUN!
