5 Reasons You Should Join Alpha Phi Omega
Rosa Lee

I have been a part of Alpha Phi Omega since Fall 2015. This Service Fraternity has changed my life for the good. I have met so many amazing people, and have been to so many life changing events. All my brothers (girls and guys) in APO have the biggest hearts. If you need something or you need someone to listen, they will be there. The love, the passion, and the heart my brothers have to serve continues to amaze me. You should all consider joining this amazing Fraternity for these reasons:

1. There are 173 members in our chapter, and at least one of them is bound to be your bestie for a life time.

2.If you want to start building your resume, APO can help get you started. There are a certain amount of hours you have to volunteer each semester for service, fellowship, leadership, and fundraising. Usually, members find themselves going beyond the minimum requirements.

3. Let’s be honest, when you are serving any event, you meet a bunch of amazing people. There will never be an event were you feel unhappy to be there.

4. It teaches you how to schedule your day and fit events in between your busy college schedule. Also, if you are not about that social fraternity and sorority life, Alpha Phi Omega is for you!

5. This Fraternity is always doing so many great things around the community, so why wouldn’t you want to be a part of it? Too busy? Not to worry! There are so many events that you can fit in between you’re busy college schedule.

Kelo Ryals, President of Alpha Phi Omega:

“Alpha Phi Omega is a national service organization that allows college student bond through service projects. It's an inclusive organization that helps students’ strength and develop their leadership skills while also serving their campus, community and the nation. It's the reason many of us chose APO. I believe people should join because it's an organization of growth. APO provides you with so many opportunities for personal advancement while also helping others and creating friendships with people who share the same vision and aspirations as yourself.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
