Alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet, signifies the beginning of the search for the true values of life; Phi, the love of learning; and Sigma, service to mankind. The motto of Alpha Phi Sigma is “Joy, Vision, and Service.” 

Following the April 25 new member induction, the Omicron Chapter officers for 2017-2018 were elected. They are Sara Larson, president; Brenna Swanson, vice president; Megan Maassell, secretary; and Morgan Karlstad, treasurer.
