Here's to Alpha Phi Omega, Loyal BROTHERS we...MEN of Alpha Phi Omega...
BROTHERS clasp the hands of BROTHERS

Now we all know that our beloved toast song refers to us all us brothers and men. We also know that our membership cards *those of us who have them* refer to us as Brother ___________, so my question is why do some Men try to call us (females) sister. This is a very touchy subject for me because I go through this a lot. I am a Brother of the fraternity, not a sister. If I wanted to be a sister, I would have joined a sorority. It's a difference...sorority = sisterhood, fraternity = brotherhood. I knew what I was joining a fraternity, not a sorority, but yet in still, people have tried to call me sister, which I do not stand for. People have asked me am I a soror or a bruhror *a brother that's a soror* and I reply that I am none of these. I even had a friend who told me that she told one of her soror's *she's in a sorority* that i was in Alpha Phi Omega and she said that wasn't possible and that I must be a Jewel. When the toast song refers to us as men, I look at it the same way as the constitution refers to all men being created equal...men in the since of mankind, not in the since of just being a man. So how do you feel about it?
