To answer your question, I'm actually an associate brother of Alpha Phi Omega but I am also in a social Sorority, Alpha Xi Delta. If APO was considered a social I wouldn't have been allowed to Pledge A Xi D. I pledged APO before I joined my Social sorority and we were told that we were a service fraternity so therefore we were allowded to be in a Social. I think that is why a lot of Social Sororities and Fraternities don't Consider APO a social b/c if we were, people in Socials wouldn't be able to become a part of APO. Being that I am in a social and I am an associate of APO I know what it's like to be on both sides. I do feel that APO is a club/fraternity b/c of that fact that they focus on Service and the other Social frats/soro. are more socially involved.
APO is not and never has been a social GLO. No one has ever viewed us as a social GLO.

The issue is that many members of social GLOs can't grasp the idea that there exists GLOs beyond the socials. To them, if you're not a social GLO, you're not a Greek. Many are ignorant of the existance of professional, honor, recognition, and service GLOs.

APO is a Service Fraternity. That is why we focus on service.
