Did the cold war ever get old? That's how I feel about this debate. It
has gone on long enough. In 1976, when the national fraternity went
co-ed, the all-male chapters were told that they would be allowed to
decide their own membership policy. In 1994 the all-male chapters were
told again that their right to decide their own membership would be
upheld. What is the problem here? I could go the rest of my life
without arguing this one more time. I wish somebody would just make a
decision and stick to it. This debate is not about brotherhood,
Leadership, Friendship, or Service, it's about people who can't be happy
with a decision of a majority. Stop quibbling and do some service!

Deb, I'm sorry if this seems like a flame, it's not meant to be. Please
feel free to forward this to APO-L as I am not on that list. I welcome
any replies that you have.
