APO is NOT "I couldn't get into a social GLO so I'll join here."
APO is NOT "My social GLO sucks/I don't like the members/I don't fit in so I'll join here."

APO is an organization you join primarily because you want to do service, in an environment that also encourages brotherhood with those you do service with. The brotherhood comes about because of the service. I'm not sure what you mean by "they seem very social", but if they are having mixers and such with sororities, that's not cool at all.

APO is not a substitute for any other organization. To treat it as such is disrespectful. If you can't join it on its own merit you shouldn't join at all.

Sorry if I sound like a bitch, but this is something that really bugs me and it happens ALL the time.
