It seems to me that IFC and NPC should be reserved for the single-sex organizations.

Also, it doesn't really matter how "sociable" an APO chapter is... They are still considered a "service fraternity" right? So, again I don't understand why they would be on the same council as the specifically social orgs.
APO main purpose is service, but we ARE a fraternity, and have a social aspect (we call it 'fellowship').

However, that said, even our National Organization doesn't feel that our chapters should be part of IFC or inter-greek councils at schools. In most cases, we are part of inter-club councils, along with the various professional GLOs.

Without knowing more of this situation, I think it more likely that you have a school who has decided that APO should be part of the IFC because they are a GLOs, and are not seeing the difference between social and non-social GLOs. (school policies will 'trump' our National policies, btw).
