i think that really sums up the reason why there is tension between the two. i know on my campus there was a great deal of discussion when the organizations surfaced because it seemed like people who had tried to pledge NPHC and didn't went ggs or apo and there was some rivalry there. the apo's did not make any friends with the omegas by calling themselves a-phi-ques. they alson wore camos and boots painted gold, so, of course there was talk about that. and the call was an obvious point of contention with Delta's and AKA'a alike. so, it was alot of bad blood. especially considering when they preached service but took on alot of the trappings of NPHC orgs (stepping, probating, calling, etc.)and the arguement is that NPHC doesn't own any of these things, but, they are traditions that we hold dear.
