Name: Erika
Chapter/School: Tau Mu, University of South Florida
Pledged: Didn't Pledge, 2nd Petitioning Ceremony Oct 17, 2003
Offices I've Held: Recording & Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and now, current President
Why I Joined APO: I was in an interest group of another
organization in Fall 2002 and things didn't workout. I was the president of the interest group you had to go through before being picked to pledge. After leaving that org, I saw a banner for Alpha Phi Omega and wrote the Nat'l office cause I knew there wasn't a chapter. However, after all the drama with the previous org, I was weary of joining a new organization, considering I had my dues paid in full (265) (it covered the crossing jacket and everything) and what I had experienced. Well, in August 2004, I found out that Alpha Phi Omega was still active on campus (known stories of groups trying to form dying out before it gets active). Been active since and I feel like I am home. Chapters stay true to their principles and show true love towards their members, unlike what I had experienced.
Interesting Fact about Chapter: Tau Mu is the current Big Brother Chapter of the Mu Omega Petitioning Group. Tau Mu was the Big Brother chapter of the chartering and rechartering of Psi Omega. Just thought that was cool.
Anything Else: I want to be an active alum, I may have a year left of the collegiate arena and would like to be on Section staff. I am unsure if I am going to stay in Florida. Also, if anyone is up for a road trip to Tampa, lemme know.
