Well, I'm pretty much done with this thread since you insist that the fraternity allow itself to disregard its own bylaws in order to appease a very vocal minority of members who are more concerned with their own selfish desires than the health and stability of Alpha Phi Omega.
The fact that you didn't feel comfortable in a co-ed chapter is understandable and it's ok. APO has room for everybody, but not everybody has room for APO. That's fine, and I have no issues with anybody who chooses to leave the fraternity for those reasons. But to leave, join someone else, then keep coming back and bitching to APO about an ORAL agreement (note that it was never written down) that was made 30 years ago is the height of ballsy. Then, to get pissed at the actives (who were not even born when said agreement was made) and demand that they honor something that they didn't personally agree to shows incredible disrespect to the Active members, who this Fraternity belongs to.
The actives could've codified the so-called "gentleman's agreement" any time in the past 30 years, but they didn't. Instead, they decided that it is no longer in the fraternity's best interest. Nowhere was it written that this was how APO was to remain forever and ever. If APO never changed, I seriously doubt you and I would be having this conversation unless you has previous Scouting affiliation like I do. Respect their decision to do what they did. You may not like it (and you're certainly entitled to not like it), but if you can't respect the decisions of the active members to direct the fraternity in what THEY believe (not you or me) is in its best interest, then APO was never the right group for you in the first place.
