o.k., no debating here;
but what I would like everyone to explain to me is, from their own
understanding, in their own words (no dictionary answers please),
WHY females are refered to as brothers?
Why am I still puzzled? 1. The fraternal term "Brother" is not unique to
Alpha Phi Omega.
2. I know that it is not presently because chapters
are trying to hide the fact that females are members.
Is this a pre-'76 carry-over?
3. What are the connotations in APO associated with
the term "Sister"?
Don't get me wrong, I love everything APO is and stands for; I am just
trying to understand some things that seem illogical.
