As for NVCC, it seems that we've been turning away from community colleges, as the turnover is just too high. I was a community college student when I was initiated, and was told back then (95) that A Phi O was looking to not have 2 year schools having chapters.
In regard to the schools inside the Beltway, I would have thought the chapter would jump at the chance to work more closely with them (there was a chance they'd switch), but that was shot down. As it stands right now, they're happy to do their own thing for the majority of the time and make the road trip to sectionals and have that be their only contact with the section for the entire year.

Beats me on Marymount. I don't know if it has to do with the school itself or something else.
In regards to the CCs I was presenting all of the options. I'm not a fan of APO trying to go to CCs either, but this is an area where there appears to be a *great* deal of difference among not only the National Board members, but also the various people who have been PD Membership. I know that we have at least one active chapter at a two year school, but Georgia Military College isn't exactly your standard Community College.
Having George Mason switch sections to join with the chapters in DC has been brought up at various times going all the way back to prior to chartering. There was discussion of moving it out of Section 82 into Section 84 (which should give you some idea how far back.
Within the state of Virginia, I'm not sure what the closest 4 year school with dorms and more than 1000 students is *other* than Marymount, my guess is University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg.
Do you think an individual invitation from Frostburg for this spring's sectional would make a difference?
