Information on Alpha Phi Omega National Listservs

Alpha Phi Omega does not maintain an "official" email listserv for communications to the general membership. However, several listservs have been established over time to enable communication between Brothers and foster appreciation of our Cardinal Principles. This is
not meant as an end-all primer on national listservs, but I hope it provides some background.

APO-L

This is a nationwide general discussion list, probably the "grandaddy" of them all. An old-fashioned listserv maintained through IUPUI, it is moderated and focuses specifically on Fraternity matters.

Listserv Website -
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU
Enter the following in the body: SUBSCRIBE APO-L

APOSOC-L

Another elder nationwide discussion list. This list is also moderated, but its coverage area expands to enable discussion not only on Fraternity matters, but also topics of general interest (current events, pop culture, etc.). The listserv is maintained at Penn State.

All of these are Yahoo!Groups, email listservs managaed via Yahoo! that are web-enabled. These lists feature group sites that provide message archives, member lists, and additional resources (including files, polls, and profile management).
