Problems arise when any fraternity/sorority -- regardless of location -- illegally steals copyrighted trademarks (crests, mottoes, symbols, creeds) or operates as a copycat/rogue organization with no recognition by the real fraternity. This happens in the Philippines, and it also happens in the United States. Copycat organizations are incredibly offensive to the real members who know the real meaning behind their precious symbols, rituals and creeds. Just because a group copies the Greek letters of an organization does not mean that they're brothers/sisters of that org.

I agree.
I do have a question: Is there, in truth, a real APO group in The Philippines?
I ask only because of recent activities on this board and way OP's question was posed and do not mean to hurt nor offend anyone.
