I was a Brownie. The worst thing ever. It served as nothing but a reinforcement of gender stereotypes and expectations. Maybe that was just my Brownie leaders who sucked.

Chaos, you know what?

You just helped me answer my own question (btw your first answer was almost 100% correct). APO actually started as a focus on SCOUTING through which brotherhood can be realized. The service aspect was merely an incidental aspect of Scouting. APO was not officially classified as a Service fraternity until 1940, 15 years after our founding.

So in essence, the (at least original) difference b/t APO and Delta was with APO, it's focus was on Scouting with an emphasis on brotherhood, whereas with Delta, its focus is/was on sisterhood with an emphasis on service.

1940 sounds about right, I'll have to back through the T&Ts with the results of the Indianapolis 1940 convention.

And I'm willing to take your "in essence" at least for Alpha Phi Omega...
