"And to the group: I don't know about APO Nationals, but I believe my Nationals just doesn't know what to do with the fact that some of their members associate with APO...and the entire thing is not official to start with. Would it help any if we acknowledged each other more formally, including each other's organization in our history? Or maybe another avenue? I'm asking because I think in order for people to take "us" seriously, we are going to have to do something, and fast." - Gamma_girl52
I am confused. (I just read this thread, and I don't know what was said in the other thread that was deleted.) Why do you feel that it is important to your sorority to be recognized by my fraternity? Who is the "us" that you refer to? Is it Gamma Sigma Sigma alone or both Alpha Phi Omega and Gamma Sigma Sigma?
Although I do understand that Gamma Sigma Sigma has a very close relationship with many chapters, the same can be said of Omega Phi Alpha. I think everyone should be proud of their history, as I am proud of mine. That being said, not all chapters of Alpha Phi Omega are affliliated with a service sorority and even if a service sorority is located on their campus, that partnership should be left to each chapter's discretion, regardless of history. I would be worried about that, if added to our history, Gamma Sigma Sigma would be too closely associated. (I mean no disrepect to your organization, but where would the line be drawn?)
Ultimately to ask Nationals or to vote at the convention to add Gamma Sigma Sigma more formally to our history is not something I would support.
