As a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, the Omicron Iota chapter participates in a wide variety of community service for our brotherhood, our campus, and our community. Each memeber is required to complete at least 20 hours of community service each semester, 8 of which must be done with the brotherhood. In order to organize service events our chapter has a Service Vice President, and two supporting service chairs that are vital in making sure that events go smoothly.
While different service opportunities are always coming up, we have worked closely with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Community Harvest Project, Mustard Seed Soup Kitchen, Wachusett Greenways, Audobon Society, Tower Hill Botanical Garden, Relay for Life, Worcester Food Bank, and others.
Every year Alpha Phi Omega hosts four service events that brothers are required to attend. These event not only help serve others, but promote unity in the brotherhood. Before the beginning of A-term, our service event is Freshman Move-in Day. As implied by the name, we help welcome freshman to WPI by helping them move into their dorms.
The B-term event is our Service Auction. For this event we auction off donated items and services in order to raise money for charity.
The C-term event is U.M.O.C. Standing for Ugly Man on Campus, this event involves volunteers raising funds for a charity of their choice then competing in a pageant style competition. Lastly, sleep-out is the D-term event; this event generally spans over two days and nights and is meant to raise awareness for the homeless.
