LEADERSHIP. FRIENDSHIP. SERVICE.
Alpha Phi Omega is a national, co-ed service fraternity that has set the standard for college campus-based volunteerism since 1925. We have active chapters on over 350 campuses, and we strive to help each individual member develop leadership skills, experience friendship on many levels and provide service to others. We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
The Kappa Sigma chapter was established in 1952 at California State University at Sacramento. Read more of our history here.

As a pledge you will participate in ceremonies that each of us have gone through, you will have a Big Brother that will help guide you through your pledging process, and you will learn about our Fraternity’s history. We have a strict no-hazing policy.
