Alpha Phi Omega and Alpha Delta

[KAPital PHINUst]

Considering that a promise was made in '76 that these chapters could stay all male, then not only was that promise reneged, but the brothers from these chapters are insulted and marginalized via insinuations that they somehow are "male chauvinist pigs" for remaining all male, after staying continuously active for 41/42/60 years, to say that these brothers truly didn't have the fraternity in their hearts is not only offensive, it adds another insult to a series of insults and injuries.

Taking all this (as well as other factors) into account, while on the one hand it is somewhat sad to see them go, OTOH I applaud their decision and wish them all the best in their new fraternity. IMHO, given the solid reputations of these former chapters on their respective campuses, I don't think a co-ed APO chapter would exist or last longer than a few years on any of these campuses.
