Full agreement!

I didn't pledge a club, I pledged a fraternity.

And FWIW, being part of an all-male chapter intrinsically brought with it certain elements and traditions that gave APO the appearance, both in form and in substance of being a true-to-form fraternity rather than just a fraternity in structure, but a service club in form.

These changes IMHO are undermining the very essence of what Alpha Phi Omega was founded to do: to serve in a FRATERNAL bond. And I resent the notion that for this reason, my attitude is a so-called "stupid" one.
