It can be e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or postal addresses. Whether the chapter is active, a PG, or inactive is NOT important. The same holds true for chapters of other ethnicities. Why do I want this? About a year ago, I said that I wanted to write a supplemental history book about Alpha Phi Omega and how it has helped other groups, how they perform LF&S, their traditions, and their struggles (if any). Some bros have responded in opposition to the book saying that I am trying to segment the brotherhood. Not true. I am trying to display what IMHO is an underrepresented group in and all-inclusive fraternity. Please try to understand. My goal is to put in writing a bridged gap(s), not to widen. This will take years to accomplish, I know. Your contributions will be very greatly appreciated.

Jason:
I commend you on your effort in trying to bring to light some of the
history of chapters at historically black colleges. I feel that this
information might be of some use, particularly since our efforts on these
campuses are not successful. Maybe we can find out what works and what
doesn't. As a section chair, the chapters I have at HBC are
not doing well.
I would suggest, however, that you coordinate your
activities with the national office and the 75th anniversary committee.
It is my understanding that they are planning another history book. I
have already suggested they have a section on Alpha Phi Omega
Philippines. I think a section on historically black chapters might also
have merit.
