ARTICLE IX, SECTION 8. CHAPTERS I N GOOD STANDING. A chapter in good standing is one which yearly meets its financial,

Report; has at least one active member; and which has not been declared inactive or suspended, or had its charter revoked, or has not
otherwise been deemed in violation of the policies or National Bylaws of Alpha Phi Omega; or of the rules, regulations, or policies of its

How to order? Orders can be placed via the website at www.a~o/market/show,or by calling the
if
National Office (8 16) 373-8667 x16. You can also email the supply room at su~~lies(ii2apo.org,
you want to bill the order to your chapter-do not email your credit card number to this address!
If you want to use a credit card please use the website as it is encrypted and secure. Mailing in an
order form is the slow way to place orders. Since most orders go out the next business day, by
the time your order is received in the National Office, it could have already been delivered, by
using one of the other methods. We will also accept order forms by fax at (816) 373 5975. Please
make sure to fill out ALL the information on the order form, including contact information, so we
can reach you if there is a problem with your order.
Where to send the packape? Orders are shipped via UPS (unless another method is requested).
UPS automatically sends you a tracking number for your shipment via email. Sending your
orders to a campus mail room can sometimes be a gamble. I commonly refer to it as a black hole
in the shipping system where a package goes in and is never seen again! It is better to ship to a
personal address (a house is better than an apartment because UPS will leave it on the doorstep).
Be sure to provide a COMPLETE ADDRESS when ordering such as apartment number, Street,
Drive, Ave, Terrace, etc. These are the kind of details that can make the difference in getting your
package delivered. Note: UPS will not deliver to a Post Office Box so another method will be
necessary.
How to pay for it? The most common and easiest way is paying by credit card. Billing your
chapter is another way of paying for an order. Your chapter will be invoiced for the order and a
bill will be included in the shipping box-chapters have 30 days to pay the invoice. We can only
bill chapters that are in "good standing". Shipping is added to all orders, including supplies like
posters, Pledge Manuals, etc. We cannot bill individual members. Checks or money orders made
out to "Alpha Phi Omega" can also be used to pay for orders and shipping.
How fast can I get my order? Ah, my favorite question. Orders are sent out quite fast unless
there is an issue like incomplete information. Most orders will get to either coast in 3-5 business
days depending on where you are located. Services like Overnight and 2 day and 3 day delivery
are expensive and not really necessary as long as the chapters plan ahead for their orders.
However, if it is unavoidable, please calllemail the National Office and we will see what the best
options are for your chapter.
Questions? Contact Matt Hewitt by phone at (8 16) 373-8667 x 16 or email at supplies@,apo.org

P b h a Phi Omega is your (Fraternityfor a Lzfetime!
Life Membership in Alpha Phi Omega is an opportunity for members to financially support the longterm stability of the Fraternity. It also serves as a declaration of your lifetime commitment to the
principles of Alpha Phi Omega.
Life Membership fees are a way of supporting the Alpha Phi Omega Endowment. This is one of the
three ways that the Endowment grows (the other two are through direct gifts and investment income).
The Endowment was established for the purpose of assisting the Fraternity if it ever fell on financially
difficult times and to support programs of the Fraternity for future generations. By agreement, the
Endowment uses some of its investment income, when requested, to support many different programs of
the Fraternity including our Service and Leadership Development Programs. By becoming a Life
Member, you help perpetuate the Fraternity for future generations and ensure that the Fraternity will stay
in touch with you well past the time of your days on campus through the Torch & Trefoil and other
mailings.
Life Membership is available to active, alumni, and advisory brothers of the Fraternity. As an
undergraduate, you may become a Life Member at a discounted rate of just $50.00 (the fee for alumni is
$100). This one time fee includes a distinctive Life Membership lapel pin, a certificate, a wallet IDcard, a
lifetime subscription to the Torch & Trefoil, and recognition at National Conventions, conferences, etc.
Simply fill out the attached form and send it with your check or credit card information to the National
Office, or you may join online at www.apo.org by clicking on Supporting APO then Life Membership.
"Please note that if you become a Life Member while an active member, you continue to pay all applicable
chapter and national fees and dues.

"New" IRS Ruling
Your chapter may have recently received (or you may in the near future) a notice from the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding your responsibility in filing an annual report. The
IRS has recently made some changes that will affect all of our chapters. These changes
are very simple and will have minimal impact on your chapter's day-to-day operations;
however, you will have to act in a timely manner.
Under ,the old rules, chapters that had annual gross revenue of less than $25,000 (money
the chapter takes in during the year) did not have to file a report with the IRS. Under the
new rules all non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations* have to anr~ually,file an electro~iicnotice
with the IRS. 'This will entail a chapter officer going to an IRS web page and filling out a
very short form. To fill out this form you will need to have yol.lr chapter's Employer
Identification Number (EIN).**
Unfortunately, the IRS has started sending out letters notifying chapters that they need to
be aware of this new requirement without actually setting up a web page, so there is very
little information available at this time. The Fraternity will be lil- king to the IRS web page on
our website (as soon as it becomes available).
There is no action to take at this time. The Fraternity will send out further information once
it is available from the IRS.
We recommend that you keep up to date with the IRS regarding exempt organizations. You
can receive a regular email newsletter by signing up at www.irs.aovleo .
If you have any questions you can contact the National Office at (816) 373-8667.
*All chapters fall under the National Fraternity's 501(c)(3) non-profit stalus granted by the
IRS.
**Each chapter must have their own EIN. The National Fraternity also keeps track of each
cliapter's EIN. If you don't know your number you can find it on your Charter Reaffirmation
form or by callilig the National Office. Your EIN is similar to what a Social Security number
is to a U.S. citizen and sliould be safe guarded in a similar manner.

ANNUAL CHAPTER

CHAPTER AWARD
Chapter Name:

Section:
September, 2007
Dear Chapter President:
This handbook contains the Annual Chapter Evaluation and H. Roe Bartle
Award certification to be used for evaluating your chapter for the school year,
which ended spring 2007 (2006-2007). It will also help you plan for this fall
and the 2007-2008 school year. Completion of the Annual Chapter
Evaluation enables you to determine whether your chapter believes it has
earned the H. Roe Bartle Chapter Award for the 2007-2008 academic year
based upon the prior year's results.
This chapter evaluation process can be used as a part of a chapter-planning
meeting or as an addition to the Chapter Program Planning Conference
(CPPC). Copies of the CPPC can be found on the Fraternity's website under
the Chapter Operations area of the Publications page.
Your chapter should return a copy of the completed Annual Chapter
Evaluation and H. Roe Bartle Award certification to the National office by
November 15,2007.
Fraternally,
Robert J. London
National Executive Director
THE ANNUAL CHAPTER EVALUATION
The Annual Chapter Evaluation was originally adopted by the 1978 National Convention
and updated by subsequent conventions. While it is no longer a requirement to remain in
good standmg, it is a useful tool to evaluate your chapter's past program and to plan for the
future. It is required if your chapter wishes to be eligible for the H. Roe Bartle Chapter
Award.
The purpose of a Chapter Evaluation is to make each chapter more effective in meeting the
objectives of Alpha Phi Omega. Specifically, it provides you with an opportunity to:
+
+
+
+
Evaluate what was accomplished during the past academic year;
Establish goals for strengthening the program during the current year;
Identify areas which may require increased effort or assistance on the part of
Sectional Chairs and Staff, the Board of Directors, and the National Office;
Determine through self-evaluation whether the chapter believes it has qualified
for the H. Roe Bartle Chapter Award.
The success of our Fraternity depends on the achievements of our members. As you
establish challenging plans and goals for the academic year, you will create greater results that
enhance Alpha Phi Omega, and enjoy the personal rewards of satisfaction and greater
opportunities. Alpha Phi Omega believes it is very important for each chapter to have a
better understanding of what constitutes a successful chapter. That is the function of the
Annual Chapter Evaluation. It is designed to help your chapter arrive at this understanding.
It provides you with a formal procedure allowing you to conduct a self-evaluation of your
chapter's program and to create plans and objectives for greater achievements in the coming
years.
You may wish to include the Chapter Evaluation as part of your Chapter Program Planning
Conference or in a meeting of the entire chapter. We request that all chapter officers arid
the Advisory Committee be involved with this review process. You may wish to invite your
Sectional Chair or Sectional Representative to be present during the review. It is evident
that there are many items which require discussion beyond the completion of this form.
Your Sectional Chair and Regonal Director wdl receive copies of your completed Chapter
Evaluation so that they can respond to your needs. When you have completed the Annual
Chapter Evaluation and H. Roe Bartle Chapter Award return it to the National Office by
November 15.

NATIONAL SERVICE FRATERNITY
THE H. ROE BARTLE CHAPTER AWARD
El. Roe Bartle, Alpha Phi Omega's second National President, was a major factor in the
growth and prosperity of our Fraternity. The "Chief', as Brother Bartle was affectionately
known, succeeded our founder, Frank Reed Horton, as National President in 1931. At that
time there were 18 chapters in Alpha Phi Omega.
Brother Bartle served Alpha Phi Omega as National President for sixteen years, until 1946
when, at his choosing, he relinquished this responsibility. His accomplishments are legendary.
He led Alpha Phi Omega in nationwide growth; from 18 campuses in 1931 the Fraternity
expanded to 109 campuses by 1946. He secured the endorsement of the National Council of
the Boy Scouts of America and obtained the approval of college presidents and deans in all
parts of the nation. He established the National Office of the Fraternity when Sidney B.
North was employed as the first National Executive Secretary. His achievements were even
more significant when one considers that our nation endured the depression and World War
I1 during his term as President. The "Clief' continued to serve Alpha Phi Omega as a
member of the National Board of Directors, Chairman of the Endowment Trustees and Legal
Counsel until he passed away on May 9,1974.
The H . Roe Bartle Chapter Award, which is a unique certificate, was established to recognize
those chapters of Alpha Phi Omega which achieve and maintain high standards in all aspects
of their operations. Brother Bartle stressed achievement and high standards in all of his
endeavors and would ask no less of others. His leadership in Alpha Phi Omega during times
of National crisis inspired countless chapters and indviduals to succeed in the face of
adversity. The Fraternity was maintained and strengthened by his presence during those
difficult days. During his last days among us, the "Chief' was approached with the concept of
establishing an award in his honor. He consented with the provision that the award would be
based upon a self-evaluation by each chapter.
The H. Roe Bartle Chapter Award is based upon the evaluation of chapter operations,
activities, and programs. It provides an opportunity to document what was accomplished
during the last academic year and to establish goals for the current year. The members of each
chapter will determine whether the chapter has earned this recognition. In the spirit of H.
Roe Bartle, we commend this program to every chapter.

THE QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF ALPHA PHI OMEGA
NATIONAL SERVICE FRATERNITY
Summer

Spring 1998
FY2006 Annual Report
350,000 and
Running Strong
On December 4, 2006, Alpha Phi Omega initiated its 350,000th member since our
founding in 1925. We initiated our 300,000th member in April 2000 and our
250,000th member in December 1993. As you can see, our growth rate has been steady
throughout the past 14 years. We are committed to growing the Fraternity and adding
more students on more campuses to provide even more service! While consistency is
good and much better than declining membership, which many student organizations
have experienced over the past 10 years, we want to see our growth rate increase. This
will result in Alpha Phi Omega developing more community leaders, and in doing so,
improve the world in which we live.
We could not have accomplished our consistent growth over the years without the
efforts of so many people. This issue of the Torch & Trefoil is just one small way of recognizing those members who financially support APO. We would like to thank the students, the volunteer staffs, Chapter Advisors and donors for their personal investment in
the Cardinal Principles of Alpha Phi Omega – Leadership, Friendship and Service, which
makes this a great Fraternity!
Throughout the following pages we have highlighted accomplishments from the previous fiscal year. The students raised their fees during the 2006 Biennial Convention;
they have done their part to give us the means to continue to grow. We recognize alumni who have also done their share to help us achieve even greater heights.
Our goal now is to recruit more members to become Torchbearers so we can accomplish even more success. As you review the Torchbearers from your Chapter, don’t just
look to see who is listed – look to see who is not listed. Then, the next time you speak
to these Brothers or chat with them on-line, ask them to visit “Support APO” at
www.apo.org and consider becoming a Torchbearer.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
by maggie katz, National President
Thank You!
Many things contribute to the fine mix that is Alpha Phi
Omega. Your donations are an important ingredient in
that mix and I am most grateful for the generosity of all
our Torchbearers. We literally could not do it without you.
This is an exciting time in the Fraternity and I feel privileged to serve as the 23rd National President. I look forward to helping Alpha Phi Omega reach new heights.
Much has been accomplished in the Fraternity’s 82year history. We have continually grown in Chapters,
members and service. We have reached out to those in
need in increasingly creative ways, providing a force for good on campuses and in
communities.
Chapters run blood drives that bring in thousands of pints of blood, impacting
tens of thousands of lives. We raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for various
charities each year through projects like Relay for Life and MDA Telethon. And, we
impact single individuals like the elderly for whom we rake lawns and install smoke
detectors.
As is always the case, there is much more to do. While it would be easy to rest
on our laurels, patting each other on the back for all we have done, that is not the
way of Alpha Phi Omega. No, we are never satisfied, always looking to be Leaders,
be Friends and be of Service.
The Board of Directors is committed to helping our Chapters and Alumni
Associations enhance their ability to serve their campuses and communities. We are
thinking globally while helping Brothers succeed locally. Our charge is to provide
tools that will strengthen Chapters and Alumni Associations. One important
resource, of course, is our alumni.
I must confess to feelings of ambivalence when it comes to our alumni. On the
one hand, I am so proud of the work done in the community by Brothers. I know
that a good number of the leaders in Rotary, Kiwanis and other service organizations
come from Alpha Phi Omega. I know that our alumni continue to serve in many
ways, through their churches and temples, local libraries and their children’s schools.
Yet, I wish we were able to keep more of our graduates doing service through the
Fraternity.
Alpha Phi Omega is not just something you do while in college. It is a way of
life, a commitment to making the world a better place every day. Our alumni are living the principles of Leadership, Friendship and Service in hundreds of different ways
in their communities. As proud as I am of those accomplishments, selfishly, I wish
we were able to put more of those skills to work within the Fraternity structure.
Certainly, your status as a Torchbearer is much appreciated. I hope you will consider joining (or founding) an Alumni Association in your area. Perhaps seek out a
local Chapter and offer your services as an advisor. Attend a sectional conference or,
better yet, present a workshop to share your experience and expertise.
There are a lot of ways to remain active with Alpha Phi Omega that fit in with
your busy lives. Please consider helping today’s college students benefit from what
you have learned. For more information on Fraternity activities in your area, check
out the Alpha Phi Omega web site at www.apo.org.
Again, thank you for all you do to make the world a better place. Keep up the
good work!

In Brotherhood,
Supporting Alpha Phi Omega’s Endowment Trust
The purpose of Alpha Phi Omega’s Endowment Trust is to provide long-term benefits for the goals and perpetuation of Alpha Phi
Omega. The strength of the Endowment Trust grows through various types of planned giving instruments.
Programs Supported by the Endowment Trust:
Youth Service Grant – Chapters are provided the opportunity to identify a need in a community, and then develop/
conduct a service project that meets that need and benefits
local children and youth. The grant funding assists Chapters
with the operational costs of a project.
Mack Scholarships – Through the Scholarship Program,
Brothers are recognized for their exemplary leadership in the
Frater-nity and on their campus. Each year, approximately
20 Brothers are awarded this scholarship based on significant
participation and leadership in extracurricular activities to
benefit individuals in need and/or charitable and/or humanitarian organizations.
National Volunteer Conference (NVC) – This conference serves as our cornerstone for providing Fraternity volunteers the skills necessary to support Chapter operations
and increase Alpha Phi Omega’s reach across the country.
National Office – The purchase of the land and building
of the current National Office in Independence, Missouri,
was made possible through gifts from Brothers across the
country. During this effort, a fund that would provide for
maintenance and unforeseen repairs was created. Through
the Challenge Fund, repairs to the headquarters’ building
are completed on a proactive basis, keeping emergency costs
to a minimum.
Types of Gifts Accepted:
■ Gifts
Program Support – Through the Leadership Fund, support
is provided toward program development and growth.
Examples of the programs that are supported through the
Leadership Fund include:
APO LEADS – This leadership development program
consists of five individual modular components. Topic
areas explored include personal and organizational leadership, teamwork, project management, communication,
conflict resolution, and goal setting.
of Cash
of Appreciated Securities
■ Charitable Gift Annuities – setting up a lifetime annuity
through APO (minimum of $25,000 is required)
■ Charitable Remainder Trusts
■ Wills/Bequests – listing APO as a beneficiary in a will
or bequest
■ Life Insurance – designating APO as a beneficiary
■ Gifts
For more information, contact the Development Director at
APO’s National Office by calling 816-373-8667 x18 or via
e-mail at [email protected].
Alpha Phi Omega’s 1925 CLUB
The 1925 CLUB is an undergraduate giving program that supports the organization’s Annual Fund.
Undergraduate Brothers who make a gift to the Annual Fund of $19.25 or more each year will be recognized
as a member of the 1925 CLUB, receive a lapel pin and be listed in the Annual Report.

FY 2005-2006 Financial Summary
Fiscal Year 2005-2006 was an unusual year because the
Fraternity changed its fiscal year to begin on August 1 rather
than September 1 each year. Among other things, this will allow
Alpha Phi Omega to focus on the beginning of the academic
year in September, rather than on closing out the previous fiscal
year. Because of this change, FY2005-2006 was an 11-month
year, while the budget that initially passed was for a 12-month
year. Without counting one months’ worth of expenses and revenue, the Fraternity’s expenses weren’t quite as large as budgeted, nor were its revenues. Taking the shortened year into
consideration, APO ended FY2005-2006 in a good state financially thanks to fund-raising efforts, a closely monitored budget
and the hard work of the National Office staff.
Revenue from membership fees in FY2005-2006 was
slightly above what had been budgeted, owing in part to
stronger recruiting on some of our campuses and the receipt
of fees, which had been delayed in their submission in the previous fiscal year. Generous giving by our alumni, students, and
friends to the Annual Fund totaled $143,828.
I’m happy to report that eighteen $500 scholarships were
given from the Mack Scholarship Fund, and twenty Youth
Service Grant projects were funded totaling $6,025.
The charts below provide you with a graphic picture of the
Fraternity’s revenue sources and expenses. Note that our membership revenue makes up the largest portion of our revenue
(65% of the total). Program Services (services to Chapters and
petitioning and interest groups) commands a larger relative proportion 78% of our expenses.
In FY2005-2006, the Fraternity transferred the contributions for Youth Service Grant Program to the Alpha Phi Omega
Endowment Trust, and the donor for the program donated
additional funds to expand the program. Under this arrangement, the Fraternity will receive annual returns from this investment for the support of the Youth Service Grant Program.
Last year I noted that to continue the vital growth of Alpha
Phi Omega and the outstanding services we provide, the
Fraternity must work diligently to improve in several areas,
including: timely membership reporting; a commitment by
every Chapter to strong membership recruiting and retention
efforts; and increasing revenue from sources other than student
fees. While membership reporting appeared to improve in the
last fiscal year, the timely reporting of membership numbers
and submission of membership fees remain vital to the financial
success of our Fraternity and to the programs and services we
can offer.
As revenues from membership fees make up 65% of our
total revenue, the Fraternity’s financial ability to provide
expanded programming and services, like our Chapters’ ability
to have the greatest impact in their communities, is directly
related to the strength of our Chapters. Membership recruiting
and retention at the Chapter level are significant for many reasons, including the exceptional service we provide in our communities, those many individuals who benefit from APO’s
leadership and service programs, the long-term growth of the
Fraternity, as well as the increased revenue to provide quality
assistance to our Chapters and our members.
Fund raising is an essential component in keeping student
fees low. The generosity of the Fraternity’s donors is deeply
appreciated, and the programs offered to students and Chapters
are successful, in part, because of these gifts. The substantial
growth of our donor base is important to the long-term financial stability of our Fraternity. In addition to our fund-raising
efforts, Alpha Phi Omega must continue to develop other
sources of revenue, such as participation in affinity programs so
that increased program costs will be less dependent upon our
student membership.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
played a role in the Fraternity’s success during FY2005-2006
and to say thank you for the dedication of those who donated to
Alpha Phi Omega and whose efforts and hard work on so many
levels helped ensure the Fraternity’s solid financial position.

Alpha Phi Omega —
In February 2006, Alpha Zeta Chapter at the University of Kentucky in
Lexington, Kentucky, participated in the very first “Dance Blue Marathon.”
More than 150 students from other campus organizations also volunteered
for this event. For 24 hours, there was no sitting and no sleeping – just great
music and dancing to help raise more than $123,000 for the Pediatric
Oncology Center at the University of Kentucky. Funds raised went toward
improving support services offered to children diagnosed with cancer and
their families. To learn more, visit www.uky.edu/StudentOrgs/APO/.
After devastating tornadoes hit Iowa City, Iowa, in mid-ApriI 2006,
Omicron Chapter at the University of Iowa stepped up to volunteer
its services and help the community. The Chapter’s largest effort was
completed during Earth Day Spring Clean-Up, when Brothers assisted
the owners of the local Dairy Queen by removing their roof from the
Iowa River. More debris was collected from trees and yards and then
disposed of during the five-hour service project. Visit
www.uiowa.edu/~apo/ to read more about Omicron Chapter.
In 2006, 4,334 Alpha Phi Omega members contributed 30,592 service hours during
Spring Youth Service Day while reaching 41,929 youth. During National Service Week,
5,460 Alpha Phi Omega members delivered 33,472 hours of service.
For their Youth Service Grant project, Brothers from Alpha Gamma
Zeta Chapter at Houston Baptist University in Houston, Texas,
coordinated a “Literacy Carnival” at a local elementary school in
the spring of 2006. More than 200 children enjoyed an eventful
day with popcorn, cotton candy and fun carnival activities, including a Moonwalk! Special booths featured literacy-related projects,
including spelling, coloring and a bookmark station. Half-Price
Books generously donated 12 boxes of books to hand out as
prizes to the children.

We’re All About Service!
Iota Phi Chapter at the University of California at Davis in Davis,
California, organized a “Dance for Kids” event at the local Veterans’
Memorial Hall. Decorations were displayed and food was prepared for
more than 35 attendees at this special prom-type dance for children
who are physically and mentally challenged. For more information
about Iota Phi Chapter, visit the website at http://www.iotaphi.org/.
In December 2006, more than 1,700 Brothers joined together for “Unbridled Service” at
Alpha Phi Omega’s 39th National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. This memorable four-day
event, held at The Galt House Hotel & Suites, began with a Reunion Carnival where Brothers
visited with old friends and learned about the upcoming workshops and service projects.
Keynote speakers included Daniel Kalef with the Muhammad Ali Center and Kate Farrell
Westlake, 2006 Fall Pledge Class Namesake Honoree. We hope you’ll make plans to join us
for APO’s 40th National Convention in December 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Brothers from Tau Omicron Chapter at Indiana University Purdue University – Indianapolis
in Indiana celebrated their fifth year of fund raising at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
in 2006. The Speedway offered Tau Omicron work for all three summer events – the
Indianapolis 500, Formula One and the Brickyard 400, which allowed the Chapter to earn
enough funds for its entire operating budget for the year. This valuable experience also
offered some great opportunities to work in a team environment while interacting with
customers, dealing with money, ordering supplies and preparing food. To learn more visit
www.apoto.org.
A total of 30 Brothers from Theta Chapter at the University of
Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, headed to New Orleans,
Louisiana, during Spring Break 2006 to volunteer their services. They joined together with Common Ground Relief, a nongovernment group of volunteers, to clear debris from damaged
homes and churches left over from the devastation of Hurricane
Katrina. As one member commented, “It was a Spring Break
well spent, and one that will not soon be forgotten.” Find out
more at www.student.virginia.edu/~aphio.

Matching Gifts
Throughout the year, Alpha Phi Omega receives Corporate Support through a
members’ employer. This method provides donors the opportunity to double (and
in some cases, triple) their support to the Annual Fund by using their employers’
matching gift program. Donors should check with their employers’ Human
Resources office to see if this type of program is offered and to obtain appropriate
forms to make a gift. Alpha Phi Omega thanks the following corporations that
matched employee gifts to Alpha Phi Omega during Fiscal Year 2006:
Bank of America
Prudential Foundation Matching Gifts
ExxonMobil
The Chubb Corporation
First Data Western Union Foundation

A Tribute to John Mack
On January 14, 2007, Alpha Phi Omega lost a good
friend and dedicated Brother, John Mack, who passed
away after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.
Formerly of Evanston, Illinois, he resided in Ottumwa,
Iowa, before his death, to be close to his daughter who
assisted with his care. John was the owner of Life
Associates, Inc., an insurance agency, which he managed
up until his retirement.
John grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and was initiated in Alpha Eta Chapter at the University of Missouri –
Kansas City in June 1940. He then served in the Navy
in World War II as part of the Pacific Fleet. In May
1947, John transferred his membership to Delta Zeta
Chapter at the University of Pennsylvania, where he
served as Chapter President.
John is best remembered for his involvement with
Scouting – specifically with local Troop 12 in Evanston.
His achievements included Eagle Scout, Troop Leader,
Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and committee chairman and committee member. He attended the 1969
National Jamboree in Idaho and the 1971 World
Jamboree in Japan as a leader. John was one of the
founders of the non-profit Camp & Trails Patches, Inc.,
an organization that continues to assist the local council
with camp restoration, high-adventure programs and
scholarships to camp for Troop 12 members. In 1972,
he received the Silver Beaver Award through his local
Boy Scout Council.
John was also awarded the Alumni Distinguished
Service Key (DSK) in 2001. He was a Life Member of
the Fraternity, a Torchbearer and Sapphire member of
the Blue & Gold Society.

of the John Mack National Scholarship.
Motivated by his personal spirit and valued experiences in Alpha Phi Omega, John made a generous donation in December 1995 to begin the John Mack National
Scholarship; other substantial gifts were received in 1996
and 1997. The interest earned on these investments has
allowed the Fraternity to recognize undergraduate
Brothers for their outstanding participation and leadership in extracurricular activities to benefit individuals in
need, charities and humanitarian organizations.
In 2001, the balance of the John Mack Fund was
transferred to the Alpha Phi Omega Endowment Trust to
earn additional interest. As of today, more than 180 John
Mack National Scholarships have been awarded to deserving Brothers of the Fraternity. Twenty-three Brothers
have been awarded scholarships for the 2007-2008 school
year. To learn more about applicant requirements, visit
