I don't remember seeing a proposal for the third verse for this
convention. I like the 'true to' better, because 'men of' simply says
that we are beings in Alpha Phi Omega. 'True to' states that we are
true to the ideals of APO. Me reasoning has nothing to do with
political correctness. I originally was against the idea of changing
the toast song, but I have to thank Loren for helping me see it this way
during the debate before the last nationals. =)
