Student Clubs

Alpha Psi Omega

The Alpha Psi Omega Chapter is the American National Theatre Honors Society/Fraternity. The organization was originally founded at Fairmount College, West Virginia in 1925 by Prof. Paul F. Opp.

Membership in Alpha Psi Omega is usually based on a point system and credentials, but has also been known to grant membership based on merit and activity within the theatre. The organization aims to support the theatre activity within the institution in which it is created.

The University of West Florida's Chapter (or Cast, as they are commonly known), Omicron Theta (OQ) holds a vision quite similar to that of the society as a whole. The Cast aims to model itself based on these principles:

• Gather, support, and maintain interest and activity within the Theatre
• Acknowledge and recognize achievement and advancement within the Theatre
• Foster a mutual partnership with all aspects of the Arts, within the University and the Community
