I suppose then that along the same line as what you are stating
above, you are opposed to what the Yankees (those residing north of the
Mason-Dixon line) did during the civil war?? See, several of those
Yankees went down south and helped fight to end slavery (a way of life for
the southerners that they thought wasn't doing any harm to anyone else).
I guess what they did was just to make themselves look morally superior,
hmmmm.

I just don't understand why all-male chapters feel as though they
should remain a special clause in the world of APO. What is it (ie
traditions, etc) that an all-male chapter couldn't continue doing if they
were co-ed? I don't mean "males bond better with males" either. What
traditions? What rush events? I guess the thing that bothers me the most
when someone says that all-male chapters have traditions that just
couldn't be done if they were co-ed. What exactly are these chapters
doing and is it something that ought to be looked into??!!
