Brothers, re-read our history. Alpha Phi Omega was FOUNDED by folks who were already involved in a NIC Fraternity. So, if someone wants to come to APO after being NIC, NPC, or NPHC, as long as they meet the requirements of that individual chapter to become a Brother - and they want to work and be of Service, so be it! I've been involved with a variety of chapters, and have had APO Brothers who've been NIC/NPC/NPHC as well as Alpha Phi Omega, and there has not been an issue. Several times, I've seen the APO Chapter President also be involved in another GLO, and it has not hurt the APO chapter; in fact, it gave the chapter more opportunities to cooperate and collaborate on service projects!
As long as a student can balance all their involvements *AND* their classwork, more power to him or her. As one of our former Presidents said, we should have "more Brothers on more campuses doing more service."
