Fav APO Memory: “I’m tied between two big things for my favorite memories. I went to national convention in December of 2018 and was a voting delegate. Being someone who was playing a factor in determining the future for our fraternity was a really rewarding experience. But also this past semester a huge group of us went and overnighted at a state park that we also volunteer at. There was so many of us that me and a group of people spent the night in a tent. The event we volunteer at is so big and being able to spend close time with so many of my brothers (because no cell service) is such a bonding experience that some of my favorite little memories came from that!!”

To mark our last day of Rush events, here’s an introduction to our Recruitment and Retention Chair, Andrew! Although you’ve likely met him already, we still wanted to dedicate a post for him. His fun fact is that this past summer he went abroad to Belgium for an internship! Here is why Andrew joined APO in the first place: "I joined because APO had the best aspects of Panhellenic life but also did good for the community. Everyone was kind which made it easier to make friends as well."
