Join APO after being in NIC fraternity? Reasons for and against?

Hey all - I'm "pieceofpaper" (the OP) I couldn't remember the password or the email address that I used for it nearly a year ago.

I am now pledging my APO chapter.

Most of my social fraternity brothers are fine with it and most are being supportive. Actually my social fraternity has historic ties to this APO chapter. It was re-chartered by several of our brothers and we have often had members in it and several of our sweethearts were in APO.

Congrats!

During the time that I was an undergradute brother, my chapter had one brother who was already in a social sorority when they joined APO, one brother who was already in a social fraternity when they joined APO and one who joined a social fraternity after joining APO.

In fact the one who joined a social sorority and then APO was simultaneously APO president and KKG pledge mistress during one stretch. Not something I'd have been able to pull off (other than the fact I am a guy ).

Actually, at Tennessee State, we've had quite a few brothers who pledged a social fraternity/sorority first, then APO. There was no issues.
