NBI to conduct own probe on Benilde student’s hazing death- Philippines
Happens overseas as well. One of the many reasons why Sigma Alpha Epsilon is not all too happy about "the other" SAE based there.

Alpha Phi Omega, OTOH, is in *full* relationship with Alpha Phi Omega of the Philippines. Considerably different culture, but *full* relationship. Yes, that's caused some heartburn, but they are our Brothers and Sisters (yes, APO-Phil uses Brothers and Sisters and APO-USA uses Brothers for both men and women)

Sadly, rather sadly, naraht the situation is just about the very opposite of what you posted above for SAE. "The Brothers" turn up in just about every social media site one can think of in all sorts of ways. Including National's own pages. For some details, please check out the notes pinned to top of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon page. We are in the very same boat as the other groups you posted about.

Not saying that the individual Brothers of SAE-Philippines don't do stupid things, what I'm saying is that I don't find any hint of SAE-USA graphics on http://www.saephilippines.org/ or https://www.facebook.com/sigmaalphae...ernational.org
ATO, AChiO and PhiBK, OTOH...

Those "changes" by other group on fairly new and modification seems to be only skin deep as there is still a great deal of the older matters still around AND "Brothers" still seems to believe that there is still some sort of connection between the two very different Orgs. STill pop up in every social media site and act as if they truly belong/"Brothers".

Not doubting that. There is however a difference between unofficial idiocy and official idiocy.
