That could backfire though, if it’s not expressed explicitly enough that at a lot of schools simply not being a first semester freshman severely curtails your choices. It’s one thing if a CC is a feeder to a nearby university and half the students are HS seniors trying to get ahead on college credits. It’s quite another if the CC is in the middle of nowhere and the students are going on to all kinds of different schools.

One of the *few* Alpha Phi Omega chapters at two year schools that has survived is at Parkland College, which is a community college about 10 minutes away from U of Illinois - main campus. Not only can the strong chapter at UI help, the brothers at Parkland are *mostly* eventually heading to that chapter, so it is probably about as good of an example of a "feeder school" as you can find.
