We are writing this to appeal for the acceptance of Brother
Gerry Socco of Delta Chapter.

Hon. Bro. Mel Adriano
National President, DY 2009-2010

Considering the political context of his expulsion, we are inclined to believe that
we should be liberal rather than strict in defining what we mean by loyalty,
which must also also take into account our humanity and our unerring commitment
to service.
Many of our brothers have committed themselves to serve the people, and Brother
Gerry did just that along with many others who have languished in prison, vanished
or were killed as they stood for their principles.
Similarly, other brothers have made good on their pledge to be true to the
principles of leadership, friendship and service, and some were honored by
getting elected to high government offices, or for heading the Philippine
National Police (PNP) or brigades of the Philippine Army (PA).
We should not begrudge our brothers for taking a standpoint at odds with that held
by others. It is the unity in diversity that makes the fraternity strong, not
the clique mentality that drives a wedge among us.
We affirm our my faith in Brother Gerry Socco. He should be one among us
brothers and sisters of Alpha Phi Omega.
