I have to agree with CAS on this one. This is the only event that Male chapters have with the Gamma Sigs. Why can't you let us have that. Why do you want to be there. This is not an Alpha Phi Omega event, but an Ay-Phi-Que event. I'm sure you worked hard for Alpha Phi Omega, but the day I see a Female Ay-Phi-Que is the day that I will turn in my letters.

Could you please introduce yourself in the Roll Call thread? Thanks!

Dang!

Like a puppet with strings, somebody lives for creating drama, and as expected by them, somebody has felt the tug.

Hat's off to all female that have came in the past and respected the event. Those that have, have never had any problems and received love just the same. There is a time for everything, and sometime the brothers need their time.

I would never say that the sisters are largely planning this event. Every meeting have been equal in ideas and attendance. May be one more brother or one more soror, and a sweetheart that has definitely done more than several. Also there was a gamma sig who came to the first one or/and the second one. I think she still lives in Atlanta. The years where there was no GSS is 3 and 4. Year 5 had about 4 sorors, and 6 had about 25-30. year 7 was the GSS convention in Atlanta, and the cookout was actually moved to accomodate the sister that will be going to convention that same weekend. So that year there were over a hundred gamma sigs. And each year after that there as been over a hundred Gamma-Sigs. But this year, because of all the recent southern growth in GSS, there will probably be more sisters than ever.

That's correct.

Female members of Alpha Phi Omega are just that female members of Alpha Phi Omega. The term Ay-Phi-Que was created and defended and has its very heritage embedded in the history of the all male chapters of Alpha Phi Omega. Other terms in from the all male chapters are Skeet, Viking, and Phyette, and some other things like handsign, calls, and other terms. Of course, nobody says that you can't use them. It just would be like a brother throwing up a Gamma Sig hand sign in a picture that I saw. You step away and safely say that he just didn't know what he was doing.

What's the problem. Alpha Phi Omega females are born from an existence that don't have all that. The coed atmosphere never had an identity on a black campus. The first black campus of Alpha Phi Omega in the coed world, was by accident, Dillard in 1987. Even coed females attempted to be what they saw, instead of attempting just be in Alpha Phi Omega like most other females aphio's, where the main effort was in simple acceptance and service.

Here we go with a history lesson. Didnt mean to create ruckus but I thought someone was saying that they didnt want to see any female APO's at the picnic or they would turn in their letters in. Thats why I said you might as well turn them in now. I didnt mean to offend you. When I hear aye-phi-que, I always think of myself cause that was what I was taught so sorry to you other chapters. Not saying that I am a Vike but us females from Psi Phi occasionally say that, especially those from the 99 line. No need for anyone to get hot and bothered.

Wow...

I will not even comment JayBee.

All I'm going to say is, whoever comes down this next weekend, I hope you have a good time. This entire situation has left a bad impression on me.

gamma_girl, it's not your fault. APO makes mistakes, too. And if I had a time machine to stop some rituals from ever taking place.....

deaconess · #42 07-07-2004, 10:14 AM

its really not that big of an issue, if your want to com ethen come, show love and support thats it, i mean all this arguing is useless. we need to respect everyones opinion, thats the overall problem with alpha phi omega, everyone thinks they know what apo is, everyone thinks there version of how they represent apo is the only why, we all need to realise that with different cultures and genders in apo your going to have different ways of representation. we need to just understand and allow for all to represent our great fraternity anyway they would like, whether that is stepping, calls, handsigns, wearing different colors letters, not doing any calls at all, genders, anything, i mean we need to do SERVICE, as long as our main purpose is being done the rest of the stuff is for the birds, we can sit here for hours and debate history, terms but as long as SERVICE is being done thats important.

Let start a forum about what service were doing, or what our chapters have accomplished. Except for talking about what makes us different lets talk about what brings us together as a fraternity and why we all joined, i think sometimes we lose site of that under all the drama
