This paragraph is really stupid. It should have said...
"Alpha Delta was formerly a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity. They left the national because they did not agree with the decision to compel all-male chapters to initiate female members."
It's not a "name change" - that makes it sound like they are still part of APO, they just don't want to call themselves that.
It has nothing to do with being "adult-based" or adults running it.
I've seen a lot of dumb explanations of chapter breakaways/closings, but this is in the top 5.
