Essentially, all three organizations are tied historically in some way. I can't speak for OPA, but for GSS, some of our founders were dating Alpha Phi Omega men at the time and wanted to form an organization that was similar to APO (keeping in mind that women didn't have the option of joining APO then). While that certainly isn't the MAIN reason for why we were founded, that's a factor.
Even during the early years of our sorority at our first few Conventions, a representative from the Fraternity was present. At our 50th Anniversary, we not only got an official congratulations from Alpha Phi Omega, but when we had celebrations in various areas, we had a representative from the Fraternity present in true historical fashion (we had the privilege of having the National President at the time attend ours in Atlanta).
There's no relationship between OPA and GSS other than the fact that we both have a historical tie to APO. We're a little older than OPA though.
There aren't any schools in which all three are active as Randy already stated.
