Members of Interest Groups are allowed to use the words "Alpha Phi Omega Interest Group" to identify themselves, but are not allowed to use the greek letters.

Members of Petitioning Groups CAN use the greek letters, but they must clearly identify themselves as a Petitioning Group. This includes the wearing of lettered shirts, b/c at the ceremony they are also presented with a 2" button which identifies them as a member of a PG. (in addition to the flame pin) The button was standardized after the 2002 NatCon.

There is no time period set for IG to PG status, however, the time from PG to chartered chapter should be no longer than 22 weeks, no shorter than 14 weeks.

Michael, you can refer to Appendix F of the National Board of Directors Policy Manual for the exact verbage.
