Three domains have been registered in the name of Alpha Phi Omega.
1) APO.ORG: registered by the APO-USA National Office.
2) ALPHAPHIOMEGA.ORG: registered by the APO-Phil alumni association for
Los Angeles.
3) APO90.ORG: registered by the APO-USA Section 90 staff.
Also APO.COM ( American Societies of Appraisers) and APO.NET (someone in
Germany) have been taken.

Welcome to one of the longest running "arguments" in the history of the
fraternity (predates anything involving women by 10 years according to
one of the alumni in my section). I come from an area (western PA) that
uses APhiO and moved to one (DC area) that uses APO. I've also dealt with
chapters that use A Phi Q (which actually seems to be the most exact
abbrevation)
