Because I replied to a question posted in an online forum.
But I'm sure you're trying to uncover some hidden bigoted motive on my part, so here goes: I was reading about hazing in Greek orgs weeks before and was curious to see if there was ever a serious issue with APO and hazing. I Googled "Alpha Phi Omega hazing" and sure enough there was a news story about a chapter somewhere on YouTube. It was in Tagalog and the only words I understood were "APO Hazing" and the video was just awful. Another link the search pointed to was the VP mentioning that he was hazed years ago.
Like I said, I am glad that APO branched off into another country and yes I find it touching that there is a love for our org all over the world. I found very positive APO blogs and videos from our brothers in the Philippines as well.
