APO
l had gottten, obviously, the impression that Alpha Phi Omega was in the midst, at least on some campuses, of operating as a
social organization. I must have been wrong.
I do have a friend who was a proud member of APO at Luther College in Iowa; it was not co-ed then, and he told me they had
tried to operate as a social beings that Luther would not allow a
national group...like NIC or NPC...to form on their campus. Bob
told me a few years ago that the group had almost died but was
revived, as a co-ed. I guess I had filled in the rest. So, sorry if
I erred. Alpha Phi Omega had chapters at both KU and Emporia.
Several guys in our house, so-called shingle collectors, joined it
but to my knowledge did not much more than go to a meeting or
so, and I do not recall it being on the forefront of much, though it
was highly identified with the scouting movement. I was a very
active scout in my youth. But I did not have the money to spend
for the APO membership, tho did know of its existence. Times have changed, so I must admit now...I have no idea how A P O
fits in the total scheme of things. Sorry if I misjudged it all. I am
not sure how the sarcasm fits in, as I meant none myself.
