SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS
ALLOW ME TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THE NOTION THAT APO IS NOT A CLUB. CLUB
MEMBERS COME AND GO, YOUR BROTHER IS YOURS FOR LIFE, LOVE HIM, HATE HIM,
WHATEVER, AND YOUR ARE HIS (RELAX, P.C. PATROL, THIS IS MEANT TO BE
INTETERPRETED IN A NON-GENDER-SPECIFIC CONTEXT). AT GEORGETOWN, THERE ARE
NUMEROUS SERVICE GROUPS: COMMUNITY ACTION COALITION, SURSOM CORDA, SO OTHERS
MIGHT EAT, AND DOZENS MORE. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONLY ONE GROUP THT PERFORMS
SERVICE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF LASTING TIES OF BROTHERHOOD: MU ALPHA CHAPTER,
ALPHA PHI OMEGA. WE HAVE ALWAYS DEBATE THE DIFFICULT NATURE OF OUR PLEDGING
PROGRAM WITH RESPECT TO EXCLUSIVITY/INCLUSIVITY, AND I MUST SAY THAT I FAVOR
A RIGOROUS PROGRAM THAT CHALLENGES PLEDGES TO LEARN AND GROW AND REACH
BEYOND THEMSELVES, NOT SIMPLY PUTTING THEIR NAME ON A LIST AND DOING A FEW
SERVICE PROJECTS.
