This summer I worked at a camp and our dining hall was out of commission for the week of training, so we ate at a neighboring camp that was kind enough to let us eat there. Anyway, I was eating there one day wearing a shirt with the coat of arms on it and one of the girls working at the other camp came up to me and asked what chapter I was with. We talked about APO for a few minutes, which was pretty cool. Later in the summer I was wearing another shirt that had "Alpha Phi Omega" written out on it and one of the guys working at my camp thought I was an AXO! I guess there's only one letter difference, but I had to explain that APO is nothing like a social sorority.
Also, a couple of years ago, when I was a New Active, I went to New York with my roommate for fall break. We were just doing sightseeing and touristy things, but about a block away from Times Square I saw a guy walk past wearing letters. I nudged my roommate and said "Look, he's in APO. My fraternity." and he heard me and turned around and smiled and waved, but we were heading opposite directions so we didn't talk.
