The name was picked because it stood for "Girls' Service Sorority". That's the first time I've heard of "Girl Scout Service"--that's a new one.

Not disputing that, but when I first heard about GSS, I was told it stood for "Girl Scout Service". I've only recently heard of "Girls' Service Sorority".

Also, many Gamma Sig chapters were formed due to direct assistance from the local Alpha Phi Omega chapter. Either they offered moral support, or direct financial support by paying the necessary fees for the GSS chapter to be initially formed. This even holds true today for some of our newer chapters.

While GSS chapters have stronger connections to APO chapters in some areas, people also recall that OPA chapters were first established by APO chapters, OPA is a mirror image name of APO, etc, thus many see them as a 'truer' sister/mirror org to APO. I first heard about OPA long before I learned about GSS.
Its all perception.
