A few small errors about APO-USA (specifically the number of PGs and the
name of the school in Canada we are expanding to) but very interesting!

APO 70th year facts and figures

Happy anniversary, Alpha Phi Omega!

Today, our beloved service fraternity celebrates its 70th foundation year. On
December 16, 1925, APO formalized its organization at Lafayette College,
Easton, Pennsylvania, United States of America. From that historic day, APO
has made a list of tremendous accomplishments. This compilation attempts to
capture some of the facts and figures of seven decades. Information is
current as of December 1995 unless noted otherwise.

Thanks to the following who assisted our research: Sis Jaen Abejero and staff
of the APO-RP national office, Brod Butch Binuya, Brod Pat Burke and staff of
the APO-USA national office, Brod Rey Canlas, Brod Dave Emery, Brod Bobby
Hainline, Brod Wilfred Krenek (his Torch and Trefoil column of Winter 1995 --
just out -- is very informative), and Brod Chato Marinas and his law office
staff.
