Good point! Gamma Phi Beta had two founders who turned down "bids" to Alpha Phi and later founded their own organization. There was actually quite a bit of controversy about this back in the day, there's a section on it in our history book. I don't think it's inconceivable that there were some Alpha Gams who turned down membership in APhi or GPhiB to help found AGD, either.
