I am a first time poster, but long time observer. I wanted to respond.

I joined Alpha Phi Omega because I was told it was a service fraternity that catered to the needs of the community and at that time (a college freshman) all I did in high school was service. I was an AFJROTC cadet doing service out the wazoo. I was also a hospital volunteer for (at that time 2 years--I would continue to volunteer for 3 more years). I was intrigued by this fraternity who not only said they did service, but actually backed up that very fact. The brothers went to parties, but never sported their letters. I said to myself I wanted to be part of this fraternity.

Anyway, that's my $19.25
