Being a petitioner I feel as though you can rep the day you became a petitioner, until you actually cross and see the actual light of Alpha Phi Omega. I don't have a problem after I graduate saying that we got our charter in Fall 03', but in my heart I will always know that I saw the light on Nov. 3rd 2002 with my petitioning ceremony, and on April 13, 2003 when we gave a petitioning ceremony to the next set of petitioners (6 items or less). I see the light of Alpha Phi Omega it burns in my heart deeply and I will continue to embrace now, when we get our charter, and forever.
