regarding the potential members we are losing by having all male
chapters.....I don't understand why any chapter would want to deprive
anyone the opportunity to pledge APO. I don't understand why anyone
would want them to goto another organization instead. If someone truly
wants what is best for Alpha Phi Omega they would try to give as many
students that opportunity. I think an injustice is being done to the
potential brothers we are losing, and an injustice to the fraternity as a
whole, for these potential members can help enrich our brotherhood in the
whole fraternity as well as in the local chapter.
For example, what if mrn's chapter hadn't allowed women. She is one of
many examples of how the fraternity has benefited by a chapter going
co-ed. Yet, we still have chapters that are keeping potential mrns from
being of service to the Fraternity and joining our brotherhood.
