If you knew anything about APO, those questions are meaningless.

APO is all about Service. Most APO chapters have a good rep. Where they have problems are on campuses where all the social greeks think they are the only 'real greeks' (read some of the other threads on that topic here). Our fellowship program is to enchange our overall program, but we keep service foremost in mind as our purpose.

APO is non anti-social greek. Many of our members are members of social GLOs. 13 of our 14 founders were social greek. While there are many non-social Greek in our membership, and yes, I'm sure some joined APO because they 'couldn't get in' to a social GLO, any sort of anti-social GLO attitude won't make you welcome by many in APO.

APO is NOT another club. We are not some service club. We feel that fraternalism makes us stronger then that.

"NPHC wannabes" Huh? That makes no sense.
