I believe you inadvertantly made the wrong point, based on your discussion,
however it is the one that is being made to show that all-male chapters
do a disservice to women on their campus. If the women on the campus
of an all-male chapter want to experience the Brotherhood of APhiO, the
only way they can do that is to become a Brother. Joining a service
sorority will not give them "the opportunity to live by APO...principles",
as another organization is not the same as APhiO, even if they have the
same principles. I'm not knocking GSS or OPhiA or any other service
organization whether it be co-ed or single sex, I'm sure they are fine
groups that do excellent work, but they are not APhiO, and therefore
are not an alternative to APhiO when a chapter exists on their campus.
> Let's leave the all-male chapters alone!
You defeated your own arguement.
