I would like to echo Thom sentiments, but I have a little addemdum to
make. As the only non-academic fraternity on the St. Bonaventure
campus, I find that I often have to defend APO: in the press, at
meetings, to my friends. And it has paid off- we got a few members
from that (NO SMART-ASS COMMENTS, KAREN!). But we also have quite a
few undedicated members, who would not defend us, who only are
members of APO to have something to put on their resume. Granted,
I'm sure a lot of us would prefer not to go through the whole pledge
process again; but if we had to, I'm sure each and every one of us
would.
By the way, I'm putting this on both lists because I think it fits!
And Tina- congratulations!!!!!
