I am with Omicron chapter, and I have sat back and watched everyone talk
about their opinions, and what is p.c. It disgusts me to watch people
bicker about such petty things... There is such a thing as tradition.
Whether it be in a family setting or chapter setting or any setting. How
did we get to where we are now without it. As far as all-male groups
go...I am the only male in my chapter, and i am secretary and chairing
two committees, and sex is not an issue for me or any other member of my
group. But for someone who doesn't know what it is like to be an all
male chapter to tell them that they can't exist...Well personally i would
tell that person to go somewhere REAL hot! If there is a group of female
who want to do service. Then DO IT! Start your own group. The men in the
all-male chapter started their own chapter. So you women need to get off
your bums and do the same. Its not segregation, or prejudice or anything.
Its principle! And for those of you who don't like it and are in APO,
quit! So tired of reading this childish bickering. Mind your own
business, you'd think tyhe world was falling apart! I do not represent
my chapter in any way, and I am a voting delegate for my chapter for
Nationals, but if my chapter decides to vote for the end of all-male
chapters I have already told my president that i will stand down from the
position. Thank you for your time...
