I was going to say that Alpha Phi Omega is not mentioned anywhere on the
site, but this is infact incorrect. Alpha Phi Omega is one of the categories
on the search and advanced search page, however there are no products which
match that category currently in their system.

Looking at it slightly more logically that I did before (apologies for the
previous very emotional post), All of the other things normally grouped with
the Fraternity Jeweler (Fraternity Colors, Fraternity Tree, Fraternity
Symbol(Golden Eagle), etc.) require a decision by the National Convention to
change. While Insignia require three-quarters to change, I think that the
colors, tree & symbol would only require a majority (strange as it would be
to keep the insignia unchanged if the colors were changed to Pine Green and
Coral).
I'm fine with the current setup for changing the fraternity Jeweler, which
is not something in my opinion that *should* wait for the next convention...
