The National Membership Policy III(C) explains what
membership requirements chapters can adopt. The policy states:
"Chapter membership requirements may be adopted that are not in
conflict with state and local law, the National Bylaws and
Standard Chapter Articles of Association of Alpha Phi Omega, or
the rules and regulations of the school which the chapter is
located; and that conform with the philosophy and policy of Alpha
Phi Omega as outlined in the National Pledging Standards."
My choice would be to modify The National Membership Policy to read:
"Chapter membership requirements may be adopted that are not in
conflict with federal, state and local law,...
Of course, strictly speaking, this is not necessary. The membership
policies of a chapter are already legally required to conform to federal
law. Unfortunatley however, it seems necessary that this be enacted.

"[The] whole struggle in this country to give equal rights and equal
privileges to all citizens of the United States has been an unpopular one;
that we have been forced to struggle against passions and prejudices
engendered by generations of wrong and oppression."
