I too had the same impression of all greek letter organizations, but at
the time, the only GLOs were social frats and sororities. APO never
existed on my campus. When my girlfriend came to me with the idea of
starting a chapter of APO on our campus, at first I was almost outraged
that she would even think of the idea of starting a frat (I was heavily
anti-greek). But, then we actually talked about it, and the fact that
it is coed, has scouting affiliation, and preaches as gospel almost
(that's a good thing) that there is no hazing eventually got me hooked.
Now, I am proud to be a Brother of APO. However, the fact that both I
and the fraternity have a strong scouting background was not why I was
so interested in it. I eventually came to love the no-hazing, service
aspects of the fraternity.
L8r,
