Multiple school chapters

[naraht]

I'm wondering in what ways Alpha Phi Omega could have chapters where students attending different accredited schools are in one chapter.

Alpha Phi Omega currently has *one*, even though the National by-laws don't seem to allow it. Phi chapter was chartered to both Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF I believe. However both Syracuse U and SUNY-ESF specifically allow students at both institutions to be full members (and officers, I think) of clubs at either University (club fees get a little goofy, but not much).

I'm thinking that in these cases, where the schools are that tightly tied together club-wise, we should be able to handle it. I'm just not sure how the National By-laws should be changed.

The question is if and how the fraternity should go beyond that. Extension membership is one method, where brothers at school B become part of the chapter at school A until such time as school B has a chapter. Multiple school chapters such as some of the NPHCs have represent another.
