it's funny how you mention the support we've gtten from you, trust me we are thankful and grateful....but where was everyone when there were APO chicks threatening me and my LSs? when they came to our informational in letters to tell us we would fail? when they came to MY probate and disrepceted us? when they tell people not to rush GSS and slander us in thier recruitment tactics?

No disrespect, but you may take it that way, but if you know your opinion doesn't amount to anything, then why continue to throw it out there or even be bothered by this? Also, part of the ruling references that APO chapters do there best to represent the DEMOGRAPHICS of their campus, which many are not doing because they are all male, and if the chapter is all female on a co-ed campus, they are to actively recruit also.
As far as your anger and concerns go in reference to female bothers of APO at Howard "coming at you sideways", that I have no knowledge of. I personally am friends, good friends, with a few of the rechartering GSS members a Howard and wished them well when they informed me of what they were planning to do.
Realize that there will always be adversity when an organization outside of Pan Hell tries to come into the picture at HBCU's. It's over and done with. Lick the wound and move on. We had adversity from Phi Sig and all the male Pan Hell groups even though many of us were friends with numerous people in those org's. They felt threatened. Obviously the bruhs who you speak of felt that way also. Especially when you're always being told, as a female bruh, that you don't belong, or that you should've rechartered GSS at the same time you were rechartering APO.
I am no longer an undergrad at Howard, but if you have such an issue with this "great divide", why not reach out to ALL the members of APO when you hold joint chapter events? I understand some things may be specific to "2552", but what's wrong with starting a new initiative?
Otherwise, If you have no problems with the divide issue, well then, keep doing what you do...just stop whining about it when the female bruhs don't "show you any love." They don't have to. There are not "2552". They're not bound to that unity.

Personally, I feel this ruling is long overdue. This initiative should have been taken the moment the Frat decided to become co-ed. Maybe then we would not face some the issues before us now.
Hell, I've even had to handle a few "bruhs" down at FAMU because I had my letters on while visiting my brother. It is what it is though.
