IFC on some campi (campuses) it is hardly in the mainstream of the traditional fraternity, the NIC one, so you are mixing apples with oranges. Is that hard for you to understand, smedley?

Actually.....
In this case, APO does count. You see, APO chapters don't exist in a vacuum. The fact that APO DOES have SAEs and Betas and Pikes says something valuable here.
APO was a fraternity of men -- all men, and mostly white -- that expanded to historically black colleges at a time when NIC fraternities were not. Yet, many of those men were also members of NIC fraternities.
I wasn't going to let you trash-talk my fraternity when frankly, an all-white GLO is an all-white GLO, regardless of what type of "outfit" is is. It MEANS something that a group of white men colonized at an HBCU. In 1947. And again and again for years and years.
Not a club -- but a fraternity.
