Ever growing, ever learning, so that we may be
Joined in Alpha Phi Omega, for eternity.

We never chaneged the fact that we are all brothers. We just expanded on the fact that we're all brothers(not matter what the sex of the person is).
I think this is beautiful and would be a beautiful addition as a 3rd verse of our beloved Toast Song. I do not want the 1st 2 verses of the Toast Song to change. I love the song as is. I do think adding a 3rd verse would be a neat idea. By the way, we haven't always had this song, nor 2 verses to it. From our national website:

1. The lyrics to the first verse of this song were created in 1931 by Dale Bartlett of Iota chapter at Park College. The second verse was written by Robert Northwood of Epsilon Mu at the University of Maryland and were adopted as part of the Toast Song at the National Convention in 1964. http://www.apo.org/pages/show/About_...ons/Toast_Song
