I thought we were an International CoEd Service Fraternity. Aren't We?
(Even though this subject seems to only involve the North American
portion of the International Fraternity.)

Also, in response to other arguments on the all-male issue. What does it
REALLY matter whether a chapter is co-ed or all-female or all-male? As
long as they adhere to the three cardinal principles--Friendship,
Leadership, and Service--it shouldn't matter. If we force the all-male
chapters to become Co-ed chapters, it would be very little different from
countries in world history who forced all of their citizens to be One
Religion. How would anyone like it, if we decided to become a National
Co-ed All-Christian Service Fraternity, or better yet, an International
Co-Ed All-Christian Service Fraternity. Boy, wouldn't that make a lot of
people happy. If I make anyone angry, I apologize, however, my inbox fills
up daily with all of this, and it can be tiring (and annoying) to have to
delete dead subject matter out of it.
