Jason,
I find it interesting that most if not all of the points you made in
your post could have been and were made by fraternal and other
organizations to resist racial integration. The same arguements can and
are made to resist the integration of any group (gays, blacks, women,
jews &tc &tc. for example) by organizations that currently contain no
such members.
Personally I have no objection to private groups choosing their own
membership by whatever standard they choose. (Looking at but not opening
the BSA can of worms.) I am an attorney who believes that such decisions
should be none of the state's business BUT the question to be asked is
is it in the best interest of the fraternity?
As to the specific issues raised by this question I have not reached a
personal conclusion but I question some of the logic being used in the
arguement.
