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...
