I have kept my mouth shut up until this point, but I think this comment
needs to be addressed. No chapter should be forced to go co-ed. Our
fraternity survives because of it's individuality.
I have spent alot of time with some all-male chapters. They respect
co-ed chapters. Why can't we respect their decision to stay co-ed. I
personeally have spent alot of time with the Delta chapter at Auburn.
Even though I left the south 3 years ago. Many of the brothers are
still my best friends. I would rather see the chapter fold than go
co-ed. That is just my personal opinion from spending time with them.
They respect me as a brother and I respect their right to stay all-male..
