Oh bull! Yes, we have women in APhiO, and I have no problem with that,
but the Frat would still be alive and strong if it had stayed a men's
Frat. Look at the All-Male chapters that still exist if you want proof
that our organization could flourish as an All-Male frat.

No, he founded it on the scout oath and law. Read your history.

Okay, I think most people who are on APO-L and APOSOC-L know my opinion
on homos, so we won't even discuss that. Always remember: the code
which Horton sought to create his new organization was, is, and always
will be the Boy Scout Oath and Law
