That's it! I tried to be civil about it, but to no avail!!
Dagnabbit, LEAVE THE ALL-MALE CHAPTERS ALONE! (for the 2nd time). I simply cannot understand the importance of having co-ed chapters everywhere, especially since we were not founded under that premise. Now if all-male chapter wants to go co-ed, that's fine, it's their choice! But IMHO, that gives no one else no reason, NO REASON to force an all-male chapter to go co-ed, especially if there is no real reason within the chapter to do so. Because if that happens, I guarantee you that there will be resentment, hostility, and possibly a loss of faith, trust, and interest in the Fraternity. Yes, you will lose the all-male chapters. And you will possibly lose the chapters as well. That's gonna be hard as hell to repetition the charter, because the initial charter was founded on a long-time tradition, one that was to be frank, f***ed up by an outsider(s) who had no idea and hadn't the slightest concept of the length and strength the all-male brothers had among themselv!
es. I am a traditionalist at heart
and s
how no remorse in saying so. I seriously doubt I would've pledged a co-ed chapter. Not because of women, but because the fraternal bond just would've have been different for me to really get a grasp on. This is not bad, just different. And as for the bros at Delta, I gotta say that you guys are in my top 5 listing of strong chapters and I would've definately considered pledging your chapter (That and the fact that you are kinda tight w/the fellas @ Pi Zeta-Tuskeegee--BTW, how are they doing and how can I contact them?) Andrew Eccelston and Italian Stallion, you fellas made some strong profound points that I could not agree w/you more. Stay cocked, locked, and ready to rock.
I have calmed down some (can't you tell?) but I really REALLY resent this attack on all-male chapters. They didn't do a DAMN thing to anyone, yet this is the thanx they get for promoting LF&S. How fraternal. I can't speak for Delta or any other all-male chapter out there but IMHO what the e-mail messages that's been posted all had one overlooked message best said by the Fresh Prince in his Grammy song "Summertime":
IF IT AINT BROKE, THEN DON'T TRY TO FIX IT (Don't try to fix it)
Peace.
