OPhiA isn't less than APhiO, its just different. Oh yeah, they do alot
with the girl scouts too.

I'm sorry, but I think that's just a dumb attitude to have. Between
sisterhood in OPhiA and being an APhiO LS, all the needs for fulfilling
L,F,S are filled. Continuing to try and force yourself on an all-male
chapter after this would simply to be to prove a point, and hurt the
brotherhood of the chapter. You wouldn't be doing a service to the
chapter, only provoking and insulting the active brothers.

Oh, give me a break! That was partially humor, and just a statement of
personal pride about my mother. Chill out.

You would be encouraged to paticipate in service projects and
fellowships, but no, you wouldn't be allowed to be an active brother in
our chapter. This action has precidence in Auburn, as several female
brothers have transferred here. All that have came to understand our
viewpoint, and respected our desire. They were still considered brothers,
but they couldn't be active in our chapter.
