Not exactly.
From the National Standard Chapter Articles of Association.
ARTICLE XVI
POLICY ON ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP
This Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega shall not seek nor accept Membership in any association consisting
solely of social fraternities, except on approval of the National Board of Directors.
Which means theoretically that an APO chapter could join a Panhell or a council that had both fraternities or sororities in it.
What it generally means in practice is the following (according to my Regional Director) is that not counting APO there must be two organizations on the council where students could be members of both without causing either organization grief. So that for example if a standard IFC added Phi Beta Kappa, we could join as well.
