New Chapter

[naraht]

We actually had a colony (Alpha Phi Omega calls them petitioning groups), where getting stitched letters was *one of* the issues that ultimately led to the colony being shut down. For Alpha Phi Omega, a rechartering petitioning group should *not* use the chapter letters of the chapters at that school until it actually charters.

For example, if Alaska State University is rechartering Xi Xi Xi, it is the Alaska State University Petitioning Group *not* the Xi Xi Xi Petitioning Group.

This group made line jackets with PO on the sleeve and told the National Board member in charge of that area that it stood for Petitioning Organization. Given that they were attempting to recharter Rho Omicron chapter, this was a case of "How stupid do you think your National Board Member is?" (Note there were significant other issues too).
