My current job ended up *way* too APO involved for words.

My normal resume does not include anything about Alpha Phi Omega (and I'd advise against those who have been out for more than 2 years to include any college activities), but I'd also registered on monster.com and that has a section where it asks what you do in your spare time. I included my family and Alpha Phi Omega in that listing.

I get to the job interview based on the monster.com resume and it turns out the lead programmer, Sam, is also an Alpha Phi Omega brother, we spent about 10-15 minutes (of 1.5 hours) in the interview talking about APO, which he definitely remembers from Washington U of StL. I comment on the oddity when I get home but think it is a good sign. I end up getting the offer which I accept.

I start the job and try to contain any mention of APO to my boss, the lead programmer mostly because I don't want to exclude the other programmer, Margaret (I'm now the third programmer including the lead). Still, she overhears one of our conversations and it turns out she is from the first co-ed pledge class at Georgetown in 1977! She and the lead programmer had been working with each other for 3 years and hadn't realized they were both APO brothers!

Also, it turns out her officemate, Anthony, is an Honorary brother and is the husband of a brother, Lee Avery who my wife ended up voting against when she ran for sectional chair of the section that I was on staff in!

Bizarre, huh?
