I'd be very surprised if there were chapter bylaws preventing running events with Socials, there certainly aren't any at the National Level.

Social events at least with co-ed chapters can get tricky, but I have seen 1 IFC, 1 NPC and APO all together...

Service projects, why not? I've seen Social Fraternities *ask* APO for help doing the service project that they are required to do by Nationals, because standing in intersections trying to raise money is boring.

For intergreek events, sometimes in a more formal situation like Greek Sing, sometimes it makes sense for APO to Judge and/or setup it up, but for something like sports, why not?

For Stepping at the HBCUs, Alpha Phi Omega often gets grouped with the non-NHPC, so going head to head against Tau Beta Sigma/Kappa Alpha Psi/ etc. So that's participating with greeks, just not social ones...

And if Alcohol is involved, *run* away.
