FWIW, Phi Rho Eta has been highly respected on the campuses they have been on, one chapter having a member who served as president of the local chapter's NPHC.

It may have been five years from first interest to final separation, but they were only actually involved in the proper procedures for about 3 years. In fact this chapter may be single handedly responsible for the changes in procedure that put a maximum length on certain phases of the Petitioning Process. I have both sympathies and issues with both the group that was attempting to come on campus and the Regional Staff. I was at their PG ceremony and on sectional staff at the time.

PM me about this, I wanna know more about this, having spoke with several of the petitioners personally.

Not New Jersey, Parks College of Saint Louis University (across the river in Illinois). Saint Louis University moved the aviation program (which was basically the entire school) back to the main campus and the all-male chapter at SLU-Parks wanted to merge in as a separate all-male family within Delta Delta chapter at SLU. This was not acceptable to the brothers of Delta Delta chapter and after much talking (The Region VIII director got involved), they decided to go their own way.

Hence, this was perhaps the precedent for Alpha Phi Omega having splinter groups. Though I was told by another brother that Alpha Phi Omega was indirectly responsible for Iota Phi Theta to come into existence, though personally I find that rather far-fetched, it's entirely possible.

Possible. I've been keeping an eye out online.

I want to discuss this further with you via PM also.
