This is a GREAT facebook group. I'm down for joining this.

How come no one wants to join me and write a history book on Alpha Phi Omega. I'm not talking about putting together a compilation of archived photos and documents like the 1993 history book (though it had a lot of great info within), but an actual history book that talks about in detail the trials, tribulations, and challenges the Fraternity underwent, such as its co-existence with other Greek groups (which the Founders underwent firsthand), its inclusion of women, the trials and challenges of chapters at HBCUs, even with regards to Scouting and how in some respects APO and the BSA experienced some tension between the two entities.

I think this would be a great labor of love for those involved and would also help set the record straight on a number of rumors that has been prevalent with the Fraternity (the Gentlemen's Agreement comes to mind).

Just my 25 cents.
