"As a National Service Fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega is the only national
fraternity with service as its primary mission. While there is a great
diversity in the types of service programs conducted from chapter to
chapter, they all serve to make up a great national ministry to human
need, conducted exclusively by college students. "

I found the above in the HTML converted Questions & Answers that "Fuzz"
posted to the internet.  It renewed my confusion as to why there is such
an emphasis on the creating equity of our three cardinal principles:
Leadership, Friendship, and Service.  Has the above document been
changed along with any others that list service as primary mission?

Also, why we are at it, why don't we change our name to Alpha Phi Omega:
National Co-ed Service, Fellowship, and Leadership Fraternity.  Let's us
not isolate Service.  The Social Fraternities definitely do all three in
some proportion... Our we just wanna be's?  Afterall, the social
fraternities are more selective AND more expensive.

Just my 2 1/2 cents.
