Alpha Phi Omega Toast Song

The Alpha Phi Omega Toast Song

(Sung to the tune of "Alma Mater")

Here's to Alpha Phi Omega, loyal bothers we,
True to self and to each other, firm in loyalty.
Daily working, daily striving, ever more to be,
Men of Alpha Phi Omega, our fraternity.
Brothers clasp the hands of brothers, strong the circle we,
Ever mindful, ever serving all humanity.
Now we raise our grateful voices, in our song to thee
Men of Alpha Phi Omega, may we always be.

Symbols

Jewel Diamond
The most precious of all gemstones representing brilliance, luster, always increasing in value, and an expression of the greatest gift of love when given.

Flower Forget-Me-Not
A perennial flower with royal blue blossoms. It is everlasting, always remembered.

Tree Oak
We have all heard from a parent or mentor at least once in our lives the story of the sturdy oak tree that grew from a small acorn. The oak is stately, sturdy, and sheltering.

Colors Blue and Gold
Our color of blue is a royal blue color. It is elegant, a sign of pure deed and thought. A color in our nation's flag.

Our color of gold is called "old glory" gold. A color also found in the nation's flag (fringe and tassels). It represents the high value, respect, royalty, and a sign of love.

Bird Golden Eagle
At the 1976 National Convention the delegates chose another symbol to further this richness of our history and traditions. They declared the golden eagle as a new Fraternity symbol. An eagle is often found as a standard or as a part of the seal of a nation. The golden eagle symbolizes strength, gracefulness, keenness of vision, and endurance.
