Alpha Psi Omega

Alpha Psi Omega is a national honorary theatre fraternity; Bradley's chapter of Alpha Psi Omega is the Kappa Epsilon cast.

The purpose of Alpha Psi Omega is the following: to stimulate interest in the theatre within our department, the university, and the community. To maintain an open line of communication between the faculty and the students of the theatre department. To be an organization concerned with leadership both in production and the classroom by being responsible for maintaining a positive and professional atmosphere, a willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty, and by encouraging a high standard of academic and artistic integrity. Alpha Psi Omega is governed under the motto, "We seek to become humble artists by the one and only road of labor and service". Alpha Psi Omega inducts new members twice a year - in the Fall and in the Spring. There are many opportunities to excel as a leader within this organization, which directly affects the structure and well-being of our theatre department. Alpha Psi Omega promotes theatre excellence, dedication, professionalism, and a passion for the craft of theatre.

Every year Alpha Psi Omega plans several actives for students to participate in such as Fall Bonfire, Ice Cream Social, and Study Day Luncheon. Each incoming freshman/transfer Theatre major also recieves a Big Sib' who is a member of Alpha Psi Omega. This Big Sib' is there to help them learn about the department and Bradley, be there for guidance, and most importantly, be a friend.

Alpha Psi Omega also creates a yearly Drag Show as a philanthropy to benefit Central Illinois FRIENDS of People with AIDS. Students create and choreograph a 12 number show that is performed in early Febuary.
