Just a thought to put out there....
Has anyone thought about the purpose of the rule against having an APO =
house?
I understand it's to prevent parties in the stereotypical nature of =
Greeks. But lets face facts,
Members of APO will end up sharing an apt, house, or dorm together. This =
in turn becomes the "APO House".
On my campus, we don't have an office, because campus activites doesn't =
issue offices to individual greek organizations. =20
There are a few benifits to allowing a APO house, such as a place hold =
meetings, ceremonies, and rush activites. It's freedom from limits such =
as room availability, or time. It could also provide storage APO =
materials that aren't easy to transport.=20
Now, I can see where problems can come up. It can be made illegal to =
raise or have dues go into renting the APO House. (Obviously won't apply =
to chapters whose schools provide housing). Questions can also be =
raised about the co-ed factor. We are all over 18 (or will be shortly.) =
Most colleges have co-ed dorms, and provided we don't have males and =
females in the same room, it shouldn't be a problem.
This is just a idea for thought, something to discuss, or consider for =
next nationals....
In LFS,
Dan
