National Office near First chapter?

[naraht]

Is your National Office in the general area of the college where your group was started? If not, are there are any particular reasons why not?

For Alpha Phi Omega, the answer is no. Our first chapter is Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, our National Offices for the last 70 years have been in the Kansas City area. The reason is that our Second National President was from Kansas City, stayed as National president for 15 years (extended by WWII) and took the Fraternity from being run out of someone's home to actually having a rented office with employees.
