I think it is an individual case and should not be generalized to the
rest of petitioning groups. Sometimes it is difficult for someone to
let go of the role of President after giving such an intense amount of
work and effort into APO. I had to consciously tell myself many times
after turning over the ball to the next generation that I was no longer
President and I needed to let them develop their leadership skills.
Many times they did things differently than I would have liked, but it
was their chapter and their decision.
