That's correct.
Female members of Alpha Phi Omega are just that female members of Alpha Phi Omega. The term Ay-Phi-Que was created and defended and has its very heritage embedded in the history of the all male chapters of Alpha Phi Omega. Other terms in from the all male chapters are Skeet, Viking, and Phyette, and some other things like handsign, calls, and other terms. Of course, nobody says that you can't use them. It just would be like a brother throwing up a Gamma Sig hand sign in a picture that I saw. You step away and safely say that he just didn't know what he was doing.
What's the problem. Alpha Phi Omega females are born from an existence that don't have all that. The coed atmosphere never had an identity on a black campus. The first black campus of Alpha Phi Omega in the coed world, was by accident, Dillard in 1987. Even coed females attempted to be what they saw, instead of attempting just be in Alpha Phi Omega like most other females aphio's, where the main effort was in simple acceptance and service.
