Horton envisioned us as an organization, based on the scout oath and

Funny, our membership has NEVER suffered. Our chapter isn't feeling any
pains, and our region as well as the National frat is pretty prolific.
Our being All-Male isn't hurting anyone, anywhere. Nobody needs any

The national frat doesn't approve OR disapprove of gender
discrimination. They left that up to individual the universitiies and
chapters, as it should be.
