Alpha Phi Omega
Dr. Wyland is a charter member of Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, having served as Scout Advisor from the inception of the Fraternity. He played a large role in the development of operating policies, constitution and bylaws of Alpha Phi Omega and devising the fourfold program of service for Alpha Phi Omega. His attendance at all of the National Conventions through at least 1951 helped with this endeavor.
In 1930, when application was made for approval of Alpha Phi Omega by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, Dr. Wyland worked hand in hand with Dr. H. Roe Bartle in presenting the facts which brought about a favorable decision and gave Alpha Phi Omega the official sanction of the Scouting Movement.
He was honored by Alpha Phi Omega by dedicating the 1951 Fall Pledge class to him. He was awarded the National Distinguished Service Award by Alpha Phi Omega in 1956. He represented the National Fraternity at the chartering of a large number of chapters in the Northeast in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a signer of the Alpha Phi Omega Articles of Incorporation in 1968.

Famous quotes containing the words alpha and/or phi:
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
