No we're not. There are several honorary fraternities and sororities on
our campus that are "sexually segregated" (interesting phrase...).
> paper: Don't you find that to be discriminatory?
no, because we have a little sister program, as well as a service
sorority that allows women to provide service as well.

The community loves us. We do alot of work for them. And because their
is both a fraternity and a sorority, not only are there more people, but
service projects get done that some people would feel uncomfortable
asking a coed chapter to handle (ie: OPhiA handles battered women's
shelter, while APhiO helps old farmer Joe, who'd never consider asking a
girl [he's an old school character, humor him] to shovel out the stalls).

Nobody I know would ask this question. Its unrealistic. Only someone
who was attempting to insult or assault our chapter would even ask such a
thing.

NOONE I know has ever said this to a female brother, except when she
asked one of the following questions:
(1) So why do you all wince when just one of you gets kicked
in the groin?
(2) What do you see in Cindy Crawford?
(3) What do you mean, "I like the taste of blood in my mouth"?
(4) Why do you grunt every fourth word?
(5) Do you REALLY like the 3 stooges that much?
(6) Why do things you do with your friends take 10 times
longer than you say they will?
(7) Tell me, how come you want to hang a dead animal on the wall?
(8) Why can't you use a toenail clipper, like a civilized
person?
(9) Do you have something against putting the lid down?
(10) Why do you keep writing "beer" at the top of all the food
group pyramids?
