Unhappy Changed the Name

How do you feel about people who change the name of the fraternity? I ran across a bothers' website and it said Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity and Sorority!!! I was floored. They obviously changed the name at the National Convention yesterday and I must have missed the memo * I really hope everyone caught the sarcasm...* But seriously, how do you feel about this, because I know I don't like it...
And this is not the first time I have seen the name of the fraternity changed to say something else.

Going back to the guys' page,he said that Frank Reed Horton was involved with scouting when he was a boy. Please correct me if I am wrong, and I could very well be, but I thought that Frank Reed Horton was introduced to scouting in Nov. 1923 at the American Legion Armistice Ball. This is where he met Herbert Horton. At this time Frank was 27, Herbert 37. It was Herbert Horton and Everett Probst that taught him about scouting. He became a scoutmaster and and a scouter. Now if this is true, then I would not consider 27 to be a boy. I said all of that to say this...is it appropiate to put this type of information out. I realize that our fraternity is not meant to be a "secret society"; however, when you put things out that are not correct, people misconstrue who we are. As I already stated, I could be wrong in my research, so could I get some feedback on this?
