I know I have seen the SAE's listed in print. It must be in our history CD-ROM.
Someone already listed who were the members of SAE. There are 8 of them.

The rest were members of the local fraternity called the "Krescents", which later became a chapter of Kappa Delta Rho.

Because the SAEs and Krescents did not want to join/create a new Fraternity whose membership would conflict with their current Fraternities, APO from the start was created as a new kind of fraternity: a Service Fraternity, which would be open to all college men, greek and independent, and which is why APO chapters do not own houses and the like.

Also, the _In the Begining_ book is NOT out of print. Its still available from the National Office.

Hope this helps.
