by Brother Frank Reed Horton
“Alpha Phi Omega is destined to be one of the greatest college fraternities in the world because it has as its foundation the highest ideals of the ages, the most perfect standard the generations have been able to produce, a standard accepted by all nations, all religions and all people, where the motivating idea is to look for the good and try to do good to everyone regardless of who or what belief and furthermore has the practical application in most commendable educational social services.”

“If you work upon marble, it will perish, if you build temples, someday they will crumble into dust, but if you work on the immortal souls of men, giving them a just fear of God and causing them to love their fellow men, you engrave on those tablets something that will last into all eternity.“
