I was under the impression that alumni associations could either be chapter based or location based. Meaning if Psi Phi wanted to create an alumni association all brothers who were initiated through Psi Phi could be in it. These associations are to keep in contact, reunions, etc. The location associations would be if you were initiatated in undergrad and you reside in the Nashville area, then we are all here together so we can do service together etc. Correct me if I am wrong, but this information came directly from Region IV conference when I went in Dec.

Yes, you are correct. APO allows for both chapter-based or location based. This is all covered in the "How to start an alumni association" booklet on-line at the National website.

Also, please realize that advisors and honorarys can also be alumni and join alumni associations, in addition to those who pledge or founded chapters as petitioners.

So this being said, you can not start an alumni association that is single sex unless you are doing a chapter based inititive and you came from an all male chapter *like kappa delta*

I would like to ask everyone to bear with me. I am trying to find out more about the fraternity and what is right and what is wrong. I know all of this info is somewhere *bylaws, articles of association, guidelines* but I haven't had time to read and study everything. I'm trying to learn as I go.

Don't know. I've seen nothing that said you can't have a single sex alumni association that wasn't chapter-based.

If this was not allowed, then there would be an issue with the various 'men of the rising sun' alumni associations. Since the Fraternity has allowed them to be formed and has recognized several as official associations...

Now, everyone who is a member of recognized alumni associations must be on record as APO Brothers. With the alumni association I am an officer for, we check everyone who applies for membership. We have had issues were some have claimed to be brothers and there was no record of them...

Nope. National Bylaws.

Article XII, section 2
(3) Membership in an Alpha Phi Omega Alumni Association shall be granted only to persons who are
duly registered in the National Office as former active, advisory, or honorary Members of a Chapter.
