One of the phrases I have always heard used to promotoe Alpha Phi Omega
has been, "We don't choose you, you choose us."
But I have heard and read on this list that there are chapters that do
"choose" their members. I have also heard rumours of other campuses where
A-Phi-O limits the number of social greeks that can pledge from each
house.
I am concerned that if we do indeed have chapters that are practicing
selective membership, we might not be promoting the best image of our
fraternity on those campuses, and may possibly be asking for a
discrimination law suit in the future.
In Brotherhood,
