And we do "MAKE" brothers, they couldnt become a brother unless a brother is involved so yes we are "making" brothers. You are right if they dont have that love and dont want to learn then they will be like that but if they dont see other brothers taking this fraternity seriously then they wont, thats just the way it is. You are effected by your environment. Please dont go there about hazing or anything like that, this forum is far from that and i am very insulted that you would even go there. Would you had said that to someone who wasnt an ay-phi-que? ive seen many post on here that you could take anyway but you never comment on them so please dont comment on mines, what you need to be doing is commenting on her not on me. So please lets get back to the topic at hand.

This fraternity had many chapters charter in the 1950s and before that *never* saw a brother of Alpha Phi Omega fraternity until a staff member came out from Nationals to run the chartering ceremony. (Eta Omicron at Brigham Young U as an example) And others where there was one visit to interview those interested and then a chartering visit.
My objections to "make brothers" are largely the result of readings that use the term "Made Brothers" as opposed to "Paper Brothers" in the NPHC.
Also, could you be a little more specific on

Im sorry but i hate these people the get into our fraternity with these chapters that make APO look like a social club or a way to hook up with people, or an outlet for people to get friend that didnt have any before or for the resume, this is a fraternity not a joke and it really kills me to meet people or chapter who take it that way. Buts its the same people who get to be in the sectional or regional or national board...

Do you have any specific members of the National Board who you feel didn't get into the fraternity at a chapter that "make APO look like a social club", etc?
Strangely enough, I can (almost))speak to the pledging experience of at least one member of the board, the current Region V director pledged my chapter the semester after I graduated. I doubt the chapters was significantly different the semester he pledged than my last one.
And yes, I would make that comment to any brother.
