From everything I've read on this board, as well as my experience with APO at the Univ. of Oklahoma, it really [i]does vary from school to school.
I was involved with Alpha Phi Omega my freshman year. Yet I've not been active since shortly after I initiated, and haven't considered myself a member since that point.
At the OU campus, the group is known popularly as A.P.O., and has no real association with the greek community, other than the fact the name of the organization is comprised of greek letters. In fact, when I got involved with, I perceived A.P.O. to be largely a community service organization, that just happened to have its roots in a former greek fraternity - thus the structure of the org, plus the mechanism for becoming a member, was much like pledging a social greek organization.
Interesting to see how a group can vary from campus to campus!
