| In the early days of our Fraternity our Founders chose recognizable objects that would be representative symbols of the spirit of our guiding principles of Leadership, Friendship and Service. They selected items of historical and traditional value and notability. The meaning and definitions of these symbols have not changed in our lifetimes, and likely will not change in the future. |
 |
| BADGE Worn by thousands of brothers of APO, is the "Emblem of Campus Service." Students and faculty alike recognize and respect the activities for which it stands. |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| EAGLE At the 1976 USA 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. |
 |
| COAT OF ARMS The ideals of Alpha Phi Omega are embodied in our coat-of-arms. As everyone who has passed through the ritual knows, the symbolism of the coat-of-arms stands for the very purpose of our brotherhood. |
 |
| OAK TREE 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. |
 |
| FLEUR DE LIZ (Forget me not) A perennial flower with royal blue blossoms. It is everlasting, always remembered. |
