I have to agree with what you say about extension efforts. Since APO does NO advertisement, how can college students know about us before they go to school? Most students that might have heard of us are former scouts that might have seen us listed in a scout manual or see an Info Booth at a scouting event.
What we need are teams of Alumni who can host Info Night events at college campuses, with the intention of finding interested students to establish an IG and then become a PG. This is something that local APO Alumni groups should look at doing as a service to the fraternity.
