I think that is why a lot of Social Sororities and Fraternities don't Consider APO a social b/c if we were, people in Socials wouldn't be able to become a part of APO. Being that I am in a social and I am an associate of APO I know what it's like to be on both sides. I do feel that APO is a club/fraternity b/c of that fact that they focus on Service and the other Social frats/soro. are more socially involved.

APO is not and never has been a social GLO. No one has ever viewed us as a social GLO.
The issue is that many members of social GLOs can't grasp the idea that there exists GLOs beyond the socials. To them, if you're not a social GLO, you're not a Greek. Many are ignorant of the existance of professional, honor, recognition, and service GLOs.
APO is a Service Fraternity. That is why we focus on service.
