Anyway, I just got a bid, and I'm really excited. Everyone is so sweet, and there are so many service opportunities.

And who determines who is "officially" Greek???
The social fraternity/sororities are organized into about 3 national inter-fraternity organizations (sorry, don't recall their names). Because of this you may join only one social GLO. APO is not and never will be part of any of these groups. This does not affect our 'status' as being 'officially' greek, unless someone out there thinks that being part of one of the intra-fraternity orgs conveys officalness...
None of the 'non-social' GLOs are part of these inter-fraternity orgs. That includes APO, as well as the recognition, honor, professional, etc GLOs. This is why there is no issue with joining as many of the non-social GLOs as you wish. (found out my dad is a member of one social GLO (Beta something) and 2-3 non-social GLOs).
