As for GSS it may be smaller but IT DOES HAVE It's own NATIONALS. As a
matter of fact one of the recent alumni sisters from our GSS chapter is
involved in there nationals.She deals with the chapters in the California
area.
They have a national Convention every other year which they send
two voting delegates to to vote on changes in there bylaws, policies... .
At there National Conventions they discuss many of the same topics as we
do. Membership, Pledging requirements, Sister Requirements,... .
They also have approximately 7 districts which each also have a
conference every other year with workshops,Banquets, Fun stuff, ... .
Hmm sort of sounds like AphiO's Nationals and regional. What was
that they miss out on what we have in the national level. It doesn't look
that way
This information was confirmed with the president of Drexel's
Chapter, Zeta the last active founding chapter of GSS still in existence.
AS for OPhiA I can't comment on them as we do not have a chapter
here at drexel.

Yes, a number not all of the campuses were at stake of going under.
Drexel is approaching its 50th year with out being coed. Therefore drexel
does not fall into that small number that needed to coed. So why should it
need to go coed now. When the reason was that the school would force the
Chapters off of campus if it didn't go co-ed. The Drexel Administration has
shown no interest in forcing Alpha phi omega to go co-ed. Therefore there
there is currently no need too.
