SRB wasn't created for reasons like Alpha Delta (or Theta Beta Phi @ Maryland Eastern Shore or Phi Rho Eta in Illinois) as an offshoot of those who disagreed with Alpha Phi Omega policy in some way.
SRB was basically founded by a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega as a somewhat of a High School form of Alpha Phi Omega. While there wasn't an official relationship, there was a de facto tie. In fact the original advisor to SRB (Brother Lazo) was National President for Alpha Phi Omega for one term in the 1980s. If you take a look at their key (on the website at
http://srb-lfs.org), you can see the obvious relationship.
Within the last ten (?)years however, SRB has started forming College chapters, more or less going head on into Alpha Phi Omega's niche. With Alpha Phi Omega of the Philippines having better relations with BSP than Alpha Phi Omega of the USA has with BSA (As best as I can tell *none* of the "3 G's" represent significant policy differences between APO-Phil & BSP), relations have gotten interesting. See
http://alphaphiomega.org/pipermail/a...ch/000143.html for two recent resolutions passed by the APO-Phil board concerning Scouts Royale Brotherhood.
Given that greekchat has primarily been for North American Fraternities, (I've found [deleted] as a good place for Philippines Fraternities and Sororities) I wonder if the represents an effort by SRB to start founding chapters in North America. If this occurs, I would expect, at best, somewhat negative reactions from both APO-USA and BSA.
