Since I didn't see APO mentioned in this thread...
Alpha Phi Omega follows the 'standard' Chapter names with Greek letters, Alpha thru Omega, then going into the double letters, Alpha Alpha thru Omega Omega, and we are now into triple letters, Alpha Alpha Alpha thru about Alpha Zeta Omicron.
As we charter chapters to schools, the name stays with the school. If a chapter goes under and is re-established, they get back the same greek name. We recognize chapters on their anniversary dates from the date they were originally chartered.
It was decided never to used "Alpha Phi Omega" as the chapter designator. AFAIK, no other chapter designators are set aside. We do not have one for, say, alumni or deceased members. There is no indicator on chapter name as to re-chartered or the like.
Due the large number of chapters, most members say their greek name and school, as unless your chapter is very well known or known to whom you speak with, they probably wouldn't know what your chapter is.
