--Hello once again, I hope you're all doing well!

        Okay, I know a few of us have been paying attention to the "Fit
to be a brother" thread.  Now, I've been led to believe that someone has
the idea that it's APO illegal (ie: against National Policy) to have
anything besides objective pledge standards.  In effect, subjective
standards or requirements are not allow.

        NOW, I would really like to know where THIS idea came from.  Psi
O has never been far from the lines of communications from Nationals and
I do not ever recall this coming from anywhere.

        Perhaps this is just something that is lip service or something
for the records.  But if this ever was attempted to be enforced, I know a
_LOT_  of chapters would have to drastically change their pledge standards
and requirements.  And I know what the National Pledging Standards say,
I've read them numerous times.

        If someone could possibly inform me where this 'rule' is written,
I will gladly take steps to change it.  If someone shows me where it's
infered or implied, I will emphatically argue otherwise.  And if this is
a 'higher-up' decision, I will passionately dispute and challenge that
decision.

        You can't tell I feel strongly about this, can you?  :-P

        Ps:  and if I am horribly confused and it doesn't apply to me and
my chapter, I will sigh a BIG relief.
