It won't affect GSS at all really.

Why would it? That ruling has nothing to do with Gamma Sig.

My school had APO and GSS. The APO chapter had several female brothers. There was never any competition between us; each org had its own thing going on. We did hold a few joint events, and aside from a TKE colony, were the only 2 GLOs on campus at the time.

Hopefully my last post wasn't too rude

but really, if there were a school in which there is a GSS chapter and an all-male APO chapter that had to start actively recruiting women, then I don't think there would be any major conflicts there. We already have a few chapters that are in this type of situation and their membership doesn't seem to be affected.

At the end of it all, it's where ever that individual feels the most comfortable being.

Since I wasnt active in college - I cant really say much on this subject - but I know that there was an APO chapter at my school and I did not join. I tried to bring Gamma Sig to CU, but it fell through (I believe part of this was me getting very into my classes that semester) but there was just something about GSS that made me want to choose them over APO.

I have expierece with sort of situation (although not exactly similar) with KKPsi and TBS, we have both chapters and both are co-ed, both do well since they recruit different personalities with few "borderline" people that could go either way.

I think that if a woman wants to be in APO she will choose APO, if she wants to be a Gamma Sig, she will choose Gamma Sig and both groups have something to offer and it will come down to the person going where they feel they fit in best.

Now Im thinking, "Where did all this positive talk come from?"... its been a crazy week and Ive been really negative!

As best as I can tell from what I've been able to find of GSS history, the 5 yeras after Alpha Phi Omega went co-ed were not good ones in terms of maintaining some of the active chapters. I just wanted you all to know.

It is true that MANY of the Gamma Sig chapters went inactive during that time but there were other factors to that as well.

Times are different. I have no doubt that our chapters will continue to do well...and I'll take it further and say that we'll continue to have new GSS colonies form on campuses in which there's an active, co-ed APO chapter (we've had several lately). Again, it will come down to where ever that person feels they have a good fit at.

Agreed, many other factors. I'm not sure whether it will have
a noticable effect, but I don't think it will be a help.
