the reason for my question was not because of the service aspect of APO, but
of the fraternal rituals, pledge boards, etc. of which some religious
schools <<may>> look down upon. so my question was that of anyone having
problems starting a chapter or even keeping a chapter, or for that matter
keeping a "healthy" chapter full of tradition. and if so, what problems?
how were they handled?
if a chapter would be allowed at a school but at a price, i.e. not allowed
to do some or any of the above, is it worth it?
ps thanks to all that replied :)
