We kinda go through phases with APO here at Tech. Sometimes we're chill, and sometimes we're tense. One of our OPA pledges right now is actually a brother in APO. She wasn't pleased with their chapter's service program, but she's still an active brother there too.

And one of our girls disassociated and went to APO for social reasons. She wasn't honest with us when she left about why she was doing it, which was upsetting.

Some APO's are totally cool with us. Others think that because APO is co-ed, that OPA serves no purpose and should just merge with them...they don't understand that nowadays, we're two very different organizations.

Can a pledge be a member of both APO and OPA?:confused: When I was in undergrad, we had two girls who disassociated with us and joined ESA. Mostly personal politics.

Yep, you can. (I find this quite weird, personally, but whatever.) It nowhere says in our constitution/bylaws that an OPA member cannot be an APO member; I checked out the APO constitution for the same thing and I found the same result. As MaryAmanda mentioned, that's the case in our chapter this semester. I made sure to research it thoroughly so as to not get in trouble with either organization.

Can anyone from APO verify this? I read their constitution rather quickly, so I could have missed something.

A little odd to me, but hey, if you want to do community service, do community service.

APO no longer has a constitution, we have Bylaws. (this is the current parliamentary practice, btw)

There is no organization you might join that would prevent you from joining APO. We have no such membership restriction, and never did.

There is nothing to prevent someone who is a member of GSS or OPA to join us, much less someone who is a member of another GLO or any other college organization.

(heck, in the early years of the Fraternity, we were very proud of the fact that our Brothers were also members of many other campus organizations, and many times listed this other organizations)

The person who started this thread sent a PM to ShamikaT that said "I understand. I’m in the same boat." per ShamikaT's post in the Zeta Phi Beta Forum. As many have suspected, there is no friend, if ShamikaT is being truthful.

I'm gonna have to vouch for ShamikaT here...

Now, I would like to ask the GC crazies to exit the building.
