My point exactly: At many campuses the requirements are so simple and loosely enforced, the prospective's desire to work and be of service can oftentimes be illusionary. I am glad I came into APO at an all-male school, because quite honestly, if it was anywhere else, I would've pimped the system, got my letters, and left. Real talk. There would've been no challenge to get the letters, and no incentive to stay active once I got them. And all too often, that is an avenue that many college students often exploit because the chapters allow them to.

As far as fellowship and brotherhood bonding (and membership retention for that matter), what separates Alpha Phi Omega from Circle K?
