I have avoided getting myself into this discussion up till now, but here
goes nothing. Both of the all-male chapters in section 94 have a sister
sorority that is all-female. The all-male chapters here take a certain
pride in the their status as all-male chapters, and I except that. To
tell a chapter that they have to integrate when there are alternitives is
not appropriate. No chapter likes having dictates come down from
nationals on how to run their chapter. It was a right given to those
chapters, and it is their right to decide when or ever to become co-ed.
Wow, who would have guessed I would be defending Orono and Machias.
