Back in 1976 a large group of chapters attempted to form a new national fraternity. Several chapters signed on, our chapter was invited in earnest to join them. I have seen the letters of correspondence and the invitation letter from these chapters personally, its been in alumni's possestion and I've only seen it once. (cant remember the national name or the chapters off the top of my head). We almost left. But national Alpha Phi Omega promissed us (to our face) they would never force us to change our membership policies. We stayed in Alpha Phi Omega based off this promiss, and thirty years later in the living memory of our alumni they went back upon it.

thats all I have, I wish I had access to these letters myself
