[edit] History
Alpha Nu Omega was born on November 3, 1988 to fill a void what the Founders perceived as a void in the college and university community. They believed that as a part of the Body of Christ, they had been strategically placed by God on the college campus to connect the future leaders of the world back to God Himself as they believe God has been seeking to do ever since the Fall into original sin.
The organization would be both a Fraternity and Sorority bound by one Constitution, which was promulgated by the founding brothers, founding sisters, and "Visionary Founder" Shirley K. Russell.
In October of 1989, the organization inducted its first line consisting of one brother and six sisters. The second line for the sisters was held in the fall of 1990. The sisters increased their membership by five.
In the Spring of 1991 the entire Alpha Nu Omega Family met and decided to become a non-hazing organization. They adopted an intake curriculum now known as the Orientation Process. This decision lead to the rapid addition of membership.
[edit] Purpose
Alpha Nu Omega's stated purpose is "to present a Christian Alternative to the students and/or faculty on college/university campuses, to minister to the needs of the whole person (spirit, soul and body), and to promote an attitude of academic excellence among its members."
