Brian Halderman: How can we find volunteer opportunities locally for our Fraternities & Sororities?

By admin on December 15, 2021

Our next guest is Brian Halderman, someone who is passionate about building community, connecting people to help each other solve problems and supporting systems, institutions, and organizations to advance the common good. This passion manifests through his work with GivePulse, Inc, a civic tech firm, that believes in the power of people and human ingenuity to build bridges, to mend wounds, and to advance society to new heights.

We find out why Brian decided on the University of Dayton for his undergraduate experience, what made Alpha Phi Omega (the co-ed service fraternity) the right choice for him, why theological reflection and social analysis are so important for students, how you can build a civic engagement culture at a University, what is GivePulse and how it can help our fraternities/sororities, the features of the platform, success stories, how our fraternities and sororities can find volunteer opportunities locally, and how Fraternities and Sororities can get more engagement from other students in their community service events. Enjoy!

Alpha Phi Omega Shaves Heads To Raise Money For Childhood Cancer Research

By admin on October 28, 2015

Congratulations to Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity at Oklahoma University for their philanthropy to benefit St. Baldrick’s on November 4th. Every family is affected by cancer in some way, and my own family is certainly no exception. The money that Alpha Phi Omega raises will go towards childhood cancer research, and the hair that is collected on campus will go towards wigs for people affected by cancer.

The photos and hashtags #baldisbeautiful is another great addition to this event that is sure to draw lots of awareness on campus. Buttons that members will be wearing that displays “every 3 minutes” to signify how often a child is diagnosed with cancer in the United States is another powerful message. It’s just another way to show the values of Alpha Phi Omega to the entire campus community, and attract others that believe in working together towards a common cause. Will this event have deep meaning for the members of Alpha Phi Omega and bring them closer as an organization? Absolutely. Is it the right type of message to send to the students at Oklahoma University about what Greek letter organizations are all about? Absolutely. We can make a difference!
