Naked frat boys run wild in the street

APO IS a Fraternity. Being about service doesn't change that. Brotherhood is a big part of what we are. Our Founder was a SAE and Mason, and fully understood the concept of Brotherhood.

APO-Ph is co-ed, but what they do is have separate Fraternity Chapters for Brothers and Sorority Chapters for Sisters. Their full title is "Alpha Phi Omega International Service Fraternity & Sorority".

I met several APO-Ph Brothers at the World Scout Jamboree. They full understand the concept of Brotherhood and made me and other APO-US Brothers feel welcome.

Just my two cents then...If your "founder" was an SAE then he would have known better, according to fraternity law, to start another fraternal organization, in USA or abroad

He didn't start it abroad.

I don't feel like getting into this for the umpteenth time, so read the link.

He (and our other Founders who were also members of socials) most certainly DID understand fraternity rules. Which is why APO was founded NOT as a social, but as a service fraternity.

Any member of a social may join APO, which is what our Founders wanted. They did not want their membership in APO to affect their membership in their socials.

Considering we've been around for awhile, if this was an issue, I think it would have come up a loooong time ago. So you're a little late to bring this non issue up.

And what exactly is that fraternity law? He wasn't the only SAE among the founders, either.

Senusret: I too had a very similar thought about SAE's Laws and Regulations.
It has been awhile since I looked them up.
And the portion of the private side of our web site that should have that information is down for updates.
So we either:
Wait
Call/e-mail and ask
or just say what ever and let it go.
I vote for #3.
