Henry and others,
Yes, Alpha Phi Omega just joined the PFC (apparently, they just
changed the criteria to include national service fraternities) and
Patrick Burke (a.k.a. NED) attended a national conference this fall
right before the Convention Planning meeting in Phoenix. Pat was
bursting with pride about APO for several reasons. He told us that
whereas many of the PFC groups membership is shrinking (for example
Business Fraternities), APO has been experiencing steady growth in
recent years. Plus, we have been able to keep our expenses low enough
(as compared to the other PFC members) to keep our operating budget
lean and mean. He also found out that many professional fraternities
also prefer to call their female members "brothers." I'm not sure
what PFC can do for us on the chapter level, but perhaps Pat or Judy
can enlighten us.
YILFS,
Lisa Covi
