I'd be intested to see if the letter was phrased so that it was sent to all
chapters of Alpha Phi Omega or all student service organizations at Dickinson.
Or some combination of the above.
I would be very suprised if it were the former. National office tends to be a
hair"paranoid" about giving out addresses of chapters. I'd be very suprised
if National gave this group a complete address list. OTOH, just getting
a list of the active chapters of the Fraternity and sending it C/O the
university wouldn't be too tough. In any event, there are people on
APO-L who know what questions to ask you about it if it appears to
be of concern.
