History
The Beta Rho chapter at the University of Arkansas was founded on April 2, 1939. The chapter had truly been the embodiment of the Scout Oath and Law, and provided much service until it went inactive in the late 1970's. A few years later, those with a desire to do service in the spirit of Alpha Phi Omega came together and rechartered the chapter on November 8, 1980. The chapter operated well for approximately seven years. Unfortunately in 1988 the chapter's membership had dwindled, and apparently no substantial membership drive was attempted. The few remaining members of the chapter graduated. The chapter had lost sight of its purpose of service and quit reporting to the National Office. The chapter once again disbanded. Fortunately good luck was just around the corner. An Eagle Scout who began to attend the University of Arkansas became aware of the purpose of and need for Alpha Phi Omega. He then set out to try and reform a chapter on our campus. In the fall semester of 1989, freshman Roger Stearns conducted a search to find Eagle Scouts interested in starting a chapter of a national service fraternity connected with the Scouting movement, Alpha Phi Omega. The following semester, Roger Stearns, Brant Warrick, Chris Davidson, Jim Erwin, Chuck Becker, Kevin Alexander, Brian Wray, and Chad Simpson joined together to restart the Beta Rho chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, along with others who played strong roles in helping to guide the chapter's formation. Sectional Chairman James Porter worked very closely with the eight scouts, to ensure a viable chapter program was established. Matt Starost, a brother from Alpha Beta Xi chapter and a graduate student, served as pledgemaster. And Advisors Dr.Eugene Schmitz and Attorney Joe Reed helped to guide the chapter.
