A chapter in good standing is one which yearly meets its financial, administrative, and Annual Chatter Reaffirmation obligations to the National Fraternity; is not more than 90 days delinquent in its financial accounts with the National Office; has confirmation of submission of a Spring Youth Service Day Report and a National Service Week 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 school. I Tips and other general info no chapter should be without 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?

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.

CB0907 "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. WHO, WHAT, WHEN & WHERE?

ROE BARTLE CHAPTER AWARD Chapter Name: Regon: College/University: 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.

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.

Chandler, Roanoke, TX 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!

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.

Alpha Phi Omega’s 1925 CLUB The 1925 CLUB is an undergraduate giving program that supports the organization’s Annual Fund.

Sumner Andrew James Theroux Karen Jean Tindle Peggy Sue Williams 3 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.

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. 6 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. 7 2006 Torchbearer Anniversaries Alpha Phi Omega’s Torchbearer giving program includes many donors who have generously contributed to the Annual Fund throughout the years.

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. John Mack (center right) pictured here with the first recipients 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.
