Sorry, knowing that APO is co-ed I wouldn't want to be in ophia.
Why should I settle for something less than APO?!

Ya know, I was asked to be a little sister for the Tau Kappa
Episalon frat here at ODU. Ya know what?? I turned it down. To me being
a little sister is patronizing. Why would I want to be helping out and
doing a great deal of work for a chapter that I couldn't be a full fledged
member of?

Dont, and let me repeat that, don't ever threaten me. You have no
right to do that. If you feel that you must threaten me then you might
want to step off. I have a real hard time discussing an important topic
such as this is with someone who can't have a civil discussion. I think
that you may want to take a look at the post that Mr. Schroeder (I think I
spelled that right) posted several days ago about being able to discuss
your opinions without losing the art of being a Brother to the person with
whom you are having the discussion.
Here's another question for you and any other brother at an
all-male chapter:
Since I am already a lifetime brother...suppose I transferred to
say....Auburn to finish my writing degree. I decide I want to be an
active brother again and maybe even hold an office. Do you as an all-male
chapter take it upon yourselves to say that as a female I can't be active
let alone hold an office in your chapter??????
