I have much love for my Z-Chi sister-Greek! You are too right here! Why in the WORLD would other GLOs on this campus not accept members of APO?? Membership in APO and a social GLO should be complementary, serving the individual and the "greater good."
Jackiepie, you mentioned something about APO being a "viable" organization. That has been under my skin since I read it. What's wrong on your campus that APO's viability would be challenged? (I do recognize the whole "real Greek" debate but for APO it shouldn't even matter. Do the opinions of uninformed people bar you from dedicating yourself to leadership, fellowship and/or service? If not, let it go.) Or are you saying that APO should be equally social and service so as to preclude the need for membership in a social org?
On the latter, for some people, APO is more than enough but I should hope that the general membership of our fine fraternity doesn't feel that they have to choose between our service organization and a social organization - or, in my case, a service-social organization.
I'm sure you're not saying it, but it sounds to me like you're bringing into question the need for social fraternities and sororities altogether. Then, with the comments about parties and drinking, you drive the point home.
