List: APO-L@VM.CC.PURDUE.EDU
Coordinator: Ellen c.c. Kranzer
CCRAZY@WORLD.STD.COM or EKRANZER@HARVARD.EDU
APO-L: For Alpha Phi Omega, a service oriented fraternity which has
chapters on many campuses in the United States. The list will provide
an opportunity for members to compare notes on their chapters, discuss
organizational issues and communicate with members at distant
chapters.
APO-L is an unofficial list and the postings reflect the opinions of
individuals and not the official policy of Alpha Phi Omega. The list
does not take the place of normal lines of communication within the
the fraternity.
::COMMANDS
-send all commands to LISTSERV@VM.CC.PURDUE.EDU
-do not send commands to APO-L
-send commands interactively or by placing them in the body of a mail
message with no subject line or other text
-commands can be grouped in a single message by placing each command
on a separate line
Here are some useful commands:
REV APO-L {receive a list of APO-L subscribers}
INDEX APO-L {receive a list of files available to APO-L users}
GET APO-L * {have the listserv send the file APO-L whatever(*)}
UNSUB APO-L {sign off of APO-L}

::GUIDELINES
The following guidelines apply to APO-L. Please read them. If you
have any questions, please contact the list coordinator. The
guidelines are derived from network policies, standard netiquette and
input from subscribers.
1. When first subscribing to APO-L, please feel free to post a brief
(about a screen's worth) message about yourself to introduce yourself
to the list. Please use private e-mail to respond to someone's
introduction. Please do not send your reply to APO-L as it will
then be sent to the entire list.
2. All postings must be related to Alpha Phi Omega. If someone posts
an off-topic message, just ignore it. The list administrator will
take whatever action is necessary. Discussing junk mail only
increases the amount of junk mail on the list and annoys other APO-L
readers.
3. Many subscribers receive APO-L through their place of work or pay
services such as Compuserve or America On Line or have limited mail
quotas. As a courtesy to those who don't have unlimited net resources,
please try to keep your messages concise and to the point. Avoid using
excessively long signature lines (between 3 & 8 lines is typical).
Try to avoid posting messages that simply say 'me too.'
4. When you quote a previous message, try to include only those parts that
are necessary to make it clear what you are responding to. Also, make
sure you are attributing the quotes to the correct individuals.
5. Netiquette dictates private responses to private email. Please do not
post private mail to APO-L, EVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A MAILING PATH.
Contact your local postmaster or the list coordinator for if you need
help. List subscribers can also be found on the APO-L subscriber list
using the REV command.
6. Please do not "flame" (insult) individuals over APO-L or in private
mail. Discussions will naturally bring disagreements, however,
rebuttals should always be made in a rational, logical and mature
manner in public or private.
7. Please refrain from using any language that might be considered
questionable (even by the most conservative of us) on APO-L.
8. The chartering of a new chapter should be announced once by either a
representative of the new chapter or the assisting chapter.
Congratulations (which are definitely in order) should be sent via
PRIVATE e-mail.
9. Newly initiated pledge classes may also be announced by a single
representative. Again, congratulations and good wishes should be
sent via PRIVATE e-mail.
10. Invitations to events should only be posted once, unless there is a
change to the original announcement. Arrangements to attend an event
should be made via private email and not across APO-L.
11. Subscription to APO-L is *not* limited to active brothers. Please
do not discuss any rituals or confidential matters of the fraternity
on APO-L.
12. Most of the points above can be summarized by: Keep in mind the
principles which Alpha Phi Omega was founded on and be courteous
to the members of this list.
Thank you for adhering to these guidelines.
