Alpha Phi Omega Pizza Meet & Greet

Alpha Phi Omega (APO) is a nationally affiliated Co-ed fraternity that is founded on the 3 pillars of friendship, service, and leadership. The chapter at Albion college has been inactive since the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, but we are hoping to get things back up and running. If this sounds like something you would be interested in joining, come to our pizza meet and greet event on Tuesday 3/19 from 4:30-6:30 in the KC first floor lounge.

Holy Week and Easter Service Transportation

Spiritual Life and Campus Safety are working together to arrange transportation to students for Holy Week services, including Palm Sunday, Maundy/Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter services in town (within Albion city limits).

Many, but not all, Christian denominations remember these events in the last week of Lent leading up to Easter Sunday.

Use this form to request transportation to a Holy Week or Easter service.

Please submit the form at least three business days before the requested services to give Campus Safety time to make arrangements. Learn more about Campus Safety transportation services here.
