i mean people it didnt change and most of the frat does not want it to change lets move to the next subject. I do personally think those who want the toast song change are not really knowledgable of the fraternity at all. We were an all male frat. we were an all male frat longer than we have been co-ed. yes the frat is co-ed but that is not the "offical" name of APO/ There is not co-ed service fraternity added on to our title. We have never had a female president ( not saying we never will) i feel if you want to be a sister then do a sorority. If you want to be a "friend" then do a club. If we want to be a "member" then do an honor society. We are a fraternity that allows female membership. I think we are going to come to a point where were going to have to decide whether or not to be a society. We have so many peolpe in our great org that take this as a social group. How many brother know read the history pass 76? How many brother really know history and how the sheild was made and important people to the frat. There isnt a year that goes by that i dont meet people who are in APO and dont know when the org was started. ive heard things like 76, 80, i have evern heard someone state that we were a new org. lol I really personally think we are losing the seriousness of the fraternity to this new ideal of change. Yes change is good and is needed in any org to survive and grow but to lose history or to totally forget our proud history is bad which has happened to APO in the last 30 years. People tend to focus on service but forget our founder wanted us to be brothers who did service not do service only. I love apo but i really feel we need to take our org more seriously and figth to keep our rich triditions alive and not to change something. we need to add on like we added on females in the org, we added a second verse to the toast song ( yes there was only 1 verse for many yes until they added another one) So lets not lose our focus of service and also lets not lose our focus of brotherhood.
