Also pledges should be exposed to other chapters. This is something that a LOT of chapters fail to do. That is one of the National Pledge Standards
9. Inter-Chapter relationships. An appropriate period of
pledging includes an opportunity for all Pledges to visit
one neighboring Alpha Phi Omega Chapter.
Rationale: One of the most difficult concepts for new
Members to grasp is the scope of our National
Fraternity. The wide acceptance of Alpha Phi Omega, its
principles, and the good works of its Members span
hundreds of campuses. Pledges should have the
opportunity, firsthand, to see it functioning on
campuses other than their own.
