Ok, I know that this is old and what not, but I just can't help but ask some questions and I really don't care who responds.

I have talked to Casanova before one on one via telephone, and he did teach me a lot of things that I didn't learn during my process of joining Alpha Phi Omega. I respect everything that was told to me. Yes, I am proud to be apart of an co-ed organization, and in North Carolina, thats all I know, even from the hypest Kappa Psi chapter at A&T. My thing is, do we all pay dues to the same place? Did we all learn the same basic information? In my eyes, there is no difference anymore between APO and "vikes". Your legacy went out of the door when this organization became co-ed. And seeing that most of you went over after the fact, why did you still become a member even after you knew it was co-ed?

"Vikes" are trying to float on this fake line of being greek. Cookouts are cool, having your frat is cool, wearing your letters is cool, but APO nor anything dealing with Alpha Phi Omega is not under the Greek system. It just seems like you want to be something that this organization was not meant to be. I mean, you could have chosen from being a Kappa, Sigma, Alpha, Iota, or Que if you wanted to make sure that there was no way in hell that a female was going to be in your organization. Oh, let me change that, those organizations could have chosen you. But it just seems like there is a lot of anger toward something that is not going to change. So please deal with the fact that we females of Alpha Phi Omega are still brothers. I don't need to "know my place" in anything, because I was told my place the day I held up my hand and repeated a few chosen words.

Some of you need to go find a hand book, and start from the beginning. Its about SERVICE! Leadership, friendship and SERVICE. I personally am not seeing anything of these traits being shown. Any greek organization and NON-greeks(as we are) stand on the same principle of Service, not who can exclude who from what.

I didn't know anything about a cookout, and actually could really care less, but I know that you, "vikes" are no better than anyone else who took Alpha Phi Omega into their hearts. Maybe you were lied to and told differently,but you are not. Think about it!


PS---I still think that there are some rejects up in here who tried to make something out of nothing....AND YES I SAID IT!
