Yup. and for the Alpha Phi Omega chapters in the USA, most of this discussion is of academic interest. I don't know of any APO (USA) brothers who have had a sex change operation. Only way that might be of interest is as a footnote, if a brother who joined back in the 1960s later went through a sex change operation and became (after the operation) the first brother to (later) be a woman.

As for Alpha Phi Omega in the Philippines, that National Organization runs more like Alpha Nu Omega in the USA does now, separate fraternity and sorority chapters at a school, but joined at the National Level. But the social pressures against sexual reassignment are *considerably* higher in the Philippines, so I wouldn't expect this to have happened.
