How were the first 11 recruited? Were you all already friends? No, they were recruited by flyers (which were in both male & female dorms, as well as the cafe, etc. and said "...National Co-Ed Service...."). I don't know how the sex break-up is at Howard, but there was a female who transferred here who was interested in APO. However, she's not ready to partake in "greek" life. and my friend who is already Gamma Sig said she'd consider joining to help us meet our "quota", but is that really what you want? Because we've already let 2 guys go who hadn't participated in any of our service projects.... they just wanted to step.
What class years are all of you? We have freshmen, sophomores and Seniors, no juniors
How are you recruiting? Flyers, I'm the only one who's not "discreet". We've participated in Trick or treat for community children with other organizations where I've made it known that I was participating on the behalf of the IG of APO. We have organization day on our campus, where my adivsor and I had information packets.
Are any of you already members of NPHC organizations? No, alot of them don't know what APO is, and I had to talk to the NPHC advisor just so they'd know not to attack us in any of their presentations.
Two of the major goals I have for APO at St. Aug are
1) Service, because all of our NPHC claim to do so much, but we never see them doing anything for our campus or community (besides cookouts)
2) Greek Unity, it would be beautiful to see NPHC Greeks going at it one day, then working together the next with their APO shirts on.
As far as being discreet, our Director of Student Activities really wanted us to present ourselves to the campus, especially with the lack of Greek life at St-Aug, I guess he felt this was important?
On a brighter note, I've gotten alot of support from surrounding chapters & alumni, who are very anxious in seeing what we've been doing. And we're developing some nice traditions and a style that's going to be great for our chapter. Hopefully this whole situation will work itself out.
