I really don't think you can do that. You should only have 1) social 1) academic 1) like religon, service, ect
if your really true to picking out an organization to you and sticking to it i dont think you need to go beyond this

According to what I have been able to find in the bylaws on the NPHC and the NPC, you *can*. In the scenario above, neither Alpha Kappa Alpha or Delta Delta Delta would be breaking the bylaws of the NPHC or the unanimous agreements of the NPC (respectively). Whether you *should* or not is a completly different story. (And I agree with you that doing more than one seems nuts).

And as for one academic, I knew students who belonged to more than one Honor Society (Honorary) in College. For example at my wife's alma mater there were several students working to get degrees in education with specialities in Foreign Languages who belonged to both a Foreign Language Honor Society and a Education Honor Society. For most Honor Societies I've seen, the amount of time spent doing things works out to a few hours a month, so doubling up there probably isn't a problem.

Please note that Randy is referring to written references to APO.

For instance, in my area, we usually say "APhiO", while in other parts of the country people say "A-P-O".

I usually write APO, and say APhiO.

I stand corrected, I didn't realize that APhiO was used in Florida that much.

And I have seen APhiO used in writing quite a bit. I pledged in Region V and used APhiO, spent enough time on Region III staff to say APO instead and then got involved with the issues with the HBCUs enough to have AyPhiQue come out of my mouth. I'm Tri-lingual.
