Hello All...
Just reading over the posts here...
The whole co-ed issue in APO has been a long-running one to my understanding. The APO/GSS relationship is far more than just a HBCU thing, as my brother Rain Man said, it exists outside of that. When my sorority was founded in 1952, it was founded to be a sister organization to Alpha Phi Omega, yes-but more importantly, it was the determination and desire of our founders to form a sorority that upheld the principles of Service, Friendship, and Equality. And, since our inception, Gamma Sigma Sigma has had a non-selectivity policy that allowed anyone to join that had a desire to serve.
Yes, there are men in my sorority just as there are women in Alpha Phi Omega, but I never lose sight of the relationship that is APO/GSS. Whether you heard of the brother/sister bond or not, realize that it's there and this isn't a "black" or "white" thing-it's history!
