Pledging

Why Pledge?

Joining our organization means that you will become part of the single most representative undergraduate intercollegiate organization in the country. Not only will you have a chance to give back to the community, you will also be creating lasting relationships with not only your pledge class but the rest of the chapter as well. Our chapter, Theta Iota, is among the largest organizations on campus and one of the largest chapters in the country with over 150 members. We believe our chapter's success is due to our dedication to the cornerstones of Alpha Phi Omega: Leadership, Friendship, and Service!
