Alpha Phi Omega is a co-ed service fraternity organized to provide community service, leadership and social opportunities. APO's primary purpose is to provide service to the community, service to the campus, service to the fraternity, and service to the nation as participating citizens. Since APO is essentially a service fraternity, its chapters are not allowed to maintain fraternity houses for its members. The fraternity has chapters at over 350 colleges, a current active membership of approximately 17,000 and has over 300,000 alumni. The fraternity was opened to non-Scout members in 1967, and to women in 1976. All members are called "Brothers", regardless of gender. The fraternity views "Brothers" as a gender-neutral term.
