APO Roll Call!

[reverie]

Name: Rachel
Chapter/School: Alpha Gamma Alpha, Dickinson College
Pledged: Fall 2003 (Alpha Delta Pledge Class)
Offices I've Held: Well I've been on pretty much every committee thanks to my, "If you need help, just let me know" statement. But no formal office as of yet.
Why I Joined APO: I really wanted to continue doing service in college and I looked at my school's service organizations and APO had the best fit. Plus I really loved the idea of having a formal and brotherhood retreat.

Name: Angela
Chapter/School: Zeta Phi, Howard University ("Black Beta")
Pledged: PG, IG, PG, Initiated April 26, 2003
Offices I've Held: VP of Membership
Why I Joined APO: It was a great opportunity to be a part of a wonderful organization rechartering at Howard that is dedicated to uplifting the community. The three principles, LFS, appealed to me.
Anything Else:I miss my bruhs already and I just left, but I'll be back...(you know I couldn't stay away). And also, oh to be an 11!

Name: Erika
Chapter/School: Tau Mu, University of South Florida
Pledged: Didn't Pledge, 2nd Petitioning Ceremony Oct 17, 2003
Offices I've Held: Recording & Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and now, current President
Why I Joined APO: I was in an interest group of another
organization in Fall 2002 and things didn't workout. I was the president of the interest group you had to go through before being picked to pledge. After leaving that org, I saw a banner for Alpha Phi Omega and wrote the Nat'l office cause I knew there wasn't a chapter. However, after all the drama with the previous org, I was weary of joining a new organization, considering I had my dues paid in full (265) (it covered the crossing jacket and everything) and what I had experienced. Well, in August 2004, I found out that Alpha Phi Omega was still active on campus (known stories of groups trying to form dying out before it gets active). Been active since and I feel like I am home. Chapters stay true to their principles and show true love towards their members, unlike what I had experienced.

Interesting Fact about Chapter: Tau Mu is the current Big Brother Chapter of the Mu Omega Petitioning Group. Tau Mu was the Big Brother chapter of the chartering and rechartering of Psi Omega. Just thought that was cool.

Anything Else: I want to be an active alum, I may have a year left of the collegiate arena and would like to be on Section staff. I am unsure if I am going to stay in Florida. Also, if anyone is up for a road trip to Tampa, lemme know.

Chapter/School: Psi Phi, Tennessee State University

Pledged/Probate: November 2001/Spring 2002 16 Conspiracy Theories

Offices: Pledge Trainer, unofficial Fellowship Chair, President. I have held every office in this chapter unoffically. I'm a dedicated member.

Why I joined: This was my opportunity to be apart of an organization that did not have a stereotype on the campus and stood for something positive. I also give my time and energy to those who need it and why not do it with your peers.

Anything else: I have enjoyed being an active member of APO since my inception. The friends, well we are family at Psi Phi, that I have met is unbelievable. These are people that I wil truly miss while I'm away exploring my life and I hope the legacy continues.

One Love "The 16" and especially "The Elite 8" the truest line to come through Psi Phi.

Name: Jennis
Chapter/School: Mu Mu, Oglethorpe University
Pledged: Fall 1997
Why I Joined APO: I was a VERY uncomfortable college freshman. My roommate and suitemate were gearing up for NPC rush and that freaked me out at the time. At some point, I was approached by an APO brother who told me a little about the organization, so I went to an interest meeting and decided to pledge. I needed the support of friends as well as the opportunity to do something good for others that made me feel good about myself.
Anything Else: I am so pleased to reconnect with this organization through Greek Chat and I've decided to become a more active alum. YAY!

Offices I've Held: MVP (twice), Pledge educator, historian, webmaster

[APhiOKUGrl]

Name: Jen

Chapter/School: Kappa Upsilon, East Carolina University Gerald was my "extra credit"!!!

Pledged: Spring 2003, Kappa Beta Alpha class!!! whoot whoot!!

Offices I've Held: coming soon...VP of Membership, if your in region 3 section 80 you might be getting emails from me!!!!

Why I Joined APO: One of my really good friends pledged the semester before me. She introduced me to some brothers and that's why I got involved at ECU. I also didn't like sitting around the room not doing anything while people are out there struggling and needing help..so it was "purrrr-fect"!

Anything else: I'm just really excited to be involved with an organization that is about serving others before yourself...it gives me the warm fuzzies...I am also glad that there is a forum like this so we can meet brothers from everywhere and not get to thinking that our chapter is what makes the organization, because it means alot when you know others can appreciate what hard work you're doing!!!

Why I Joined APO: My room mate is an APO brother and she convinced me that since I love volunteer work so much that APO would be a good thing... so I rushed.

Name: Nikki (there are 2 of us in my pledge class)
Chapter/School: Epsilon Psi/ Kent State University
Pledged: Fall 2004 (Right now!)
Offices I've Held: None, yet.
Why I Joined APO: I knew a handful of the brothers in my chapter (about a third, actually) and it looked like a way to get involved more without killing myself trying to be in a sorority, in a service club, working, and trying to get a 4.0 The more I rushed, the more I loved the brothers.
Anything else: One of the actives of the Epsilon Psi chapter here at Kent is also pledging Kappa Phi! I joke that by the end of the semester she and I will be brother and sister! Also, I just went through the pledge ceremony tonight and almost cried! It was great!
