First off, there are no national rules on this. So as they say 'your mileage may vary'. (in other words, some of what I say may be true at some schools, but not others)
APO is not considered 'greek'. As such, you will not see APO chapters holding their Rush during the time the 'Greeks' do. Most Chapters will hold their Rush the week(s) following 'Greek Rush'. If your school has some kind of early semester 'club fair', they should be part of that, giving out info on themselves and their rush.
Most APO chapters will hold Rush during both Fall and Spring semesters. Rarer would be to do it during summer.
As APO is an 'open' organization, by and large we don't do bids and the like. Some chapters may do this, but most do not, and in most cases they can't, per their school rules. If you want to join your local APO chapter, contact them and ask. You should see info on their website (if they have one) and from campus fliers as to their rush. (at this point I think most chapters have probably concluded their fall rush and are into their fall pledge classes).
