Just would like to know you opinion

Hmm, I think it is kind of funny that so many people on this board have a huge problem with the way social fraternities at Rowan are represented yet the actual social fraternity members at Rowan don't really care and elected Jackiepie anyway.

I think it is just another example of how each campus has such a different personality and culture.

I like hearing the difference in opinion, but I disagree with what rocketgirl said.

I don't think that I would have any right, even as a member of Alpha Phi Omega, to tell Jackiepie that her chapter should push to be accepted (probably meaning categorized though) as a service group.

Maybe that chapter is more similar to a social fraternity than a Circle K for example. If it were my chapter, I would take offense to rocketgirl's suggestion because I would know what my chapter dynamic is better than an outsider would.

I think one of the benefits of a PHA or IFC type organization is that it provides a forum for like-organizations to interact. It seems exclusionary for someone who doesn't even belong to that campus to make as assessment of who should and shouldn't belong.

Each chapter of Alpha Phi Omega has its own personality. If they want to be viewed in the same light as social fraternities, so be it. It is not my place to tell ANY chapter how to be classified or how to govern itself, especially if they have their act together.
