Alpha Phi Omega is a Co-ed National Service Fraternity founded on the principles of the Boy Scout Oath and Law.

My journey with Alpha Phi Omega began in the Spring of 1992, at McKendree College in Lebanon, IL. I was one of 7 pledges that semester. Since there were 7 of us, we were quickly identified with the 7 Dwarves from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves . I was Doc.

I served the fraternity as a community advisor to Zeta Nu, the chapter at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale from 2001 to July 2002.
