APO DELTA CHAPTER 59TH ANNIVERSARY |
1955 Alpha Phi Omega Delta Chapter
Alpha Phi Omega of the Philippines In 1950, the Republic of the Philippines then was only four years old. The Boy Scout movement founded by LORD BADEN-POWELL in Great Britain was organized in the Philippines in 1923; in 1950, as now, many Filipinos where actively participating in the movement. One evening that year, Scouters in Manila were invited to a conference with a certain SOL LEVY from Washington State, USA. Brother Levy expressed the desire to organize Alpha Phi Omega in the Philippines. He gave a short talk and distributed some copies of three APO publications: Questions and Answers, National Constitution and By-Laws, and Ritual Rites and Ceremonies.
DR. LIBRADO I. URETA, an Eagle Scout (and then, a graduate student at Far Eastern University in Manila) was among the audience. Inspired by Brother Levy's words, he read the publications and shared them with fellow Eagle Scouts and students on the FEU campus. He asked their opinion about Brother Levy's desire and the response was good. On 2 March 1950, Alpha Phi Omega International Service Fraternity was founded at Nicanor Reyes Sr. Hall, Room 214, FEU. After early preparations, a petition for official status and copies of the publications were sent to the FEU administration. Few days after, the university recognized the organization.
Alpha Phi Omega grew rapidly in the Philippines and now there are several hundred Alpha Phi Omega collegiate fraternity and sorority chapters and alumni associations throughout the country.
