You should probably know that MANY of the Fraternity's alumni DO give =
VAST amounts of money to the Fraternity. Some give money through the =
annual campaign, some give money to the Leadership fund, and many, many, =
MANY alumni give of their money AND time as volunteers of the Fraternity =
(staff, etc.) Many of our alumni also give anonymously - they don't =
seek recognition. And, frankly, many alumni would rather see their =
money going to the PROGRAMS of the Fraternity than a discussion on the =
change of our Coat of Arms.
It seems to me that your message suggests alumni hold on to their money. =
Alumni in Alpha Phi Omega are NO different than any others: they give =
according to their ability and desire. Frankly, I think your message is =
somewhat insulting to those alumni who do give and to members generally. =
Some people would like to give but financially are unable to do so.
Alumni members of the Fraternity do their fair share in supporting Alpha =
Phi Omega, its programs, and its active members.

On a side note, even if the coat of arms did get changed, which it =
better not. I do not think that the fraternity is in any position to =
financial support such a change. We should not forget about the =
almighty dollar. Speaking of which, it kills me when I hear that the =
national fraternity is not financially well off. How many alumni do we =
have? Doctors, lawyers, millionaires, etc.? Come off of some of that =
money you are never going to spend and help the fraternity out. I know =
that as soon as I start making some money that is what I am going to do. =
Okay that is my two cents worth. Have a great day!
