Its mission is: To promote and encourage loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America; To cultivate the ideals of Hellenism; To constantly strive towards maintaining positive Greek-American relations; To unite Americans of Greek descent in fellowship and philanthropy; To help recognize the achievements of those who excel in their field individually or as a group; To help alleviate the wants of the poor and needy; To establish, maintain or aid religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational activities. Since its inception, the Alpha Omega Council has contributed over $2,000,000 to various philanthropic causes, not including the annual Peter Agris Memorial Journalism Scholarship Awards.

We could not be more grateful for the love and dedication of the Alpha Omega Council in their support of our new gym and field house! This is truly a historic display of commitment to the youth of our Metropolis! Thank you the membership for this incredible investment in the future of our church here in New England!
On October 4, 2024, Alpha Omega Council President Harry Vlachos and former President Paul Tsitsopoulos visited the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston to meet with His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios, in a tradition of formally introducing the incoming Alpha Omega president to Metropolitan Methodios. During the visit, Alpha Omega presented His Eminence with a check for $250,000 in support of the Metropolis of Boston’s new Camp Gym & Field House Project that is currently underway at MBC's St Methodios Faith and Heritage Center in Contoocook, New Hampshire. This historic donation, which was the result of collective fundraising efforts under the leadership of former President Paul Tsitsopoulos from his 2023-24 term, represents Alpha Omega Council’s initial donation towards a pledge of $500,000 announced at the Annual Metropolis of Boston Ministry Awards Celebration at Gillette Stadium on June 9, 2024. Alpha Omega Council plans to donate an additional $250,000 in support of the Gym & Field house project in 2025.
