I know that at Emory, the reason that the sorority lodges aren't
larger is becayse of rules about the number of women allowed to live
together ALONE...more than a certain number (i don't know what it was,
rumored to be 3) used to be considered a brothel...but then again, the
Emory has moved its international students program, co-ed, into a
renovated frat-house...if its co-ed and has a university sanction, then a
chapter could probably pull it off...this too is my opinion, and not even
an educated one...btw a rejected proposal for that house was that it be
designated as a "service house" for offices (and maybe living space) for
APO, Circle K, Volunteer Emory, and any other service groups.
I'm kinda torn about the whole BSA issue. (HA! As i type, a
Simpsons re-run is on and Bart is playing with pocketkinves!huh-huh.)
BSA on a whole is an excellent organization, and I think that they
teach importantant lessons, they've lately taken some views I disagree
with. However, this is one of those issues where I feel i can put my
trust in delegates to nationals.
Anyway, just my 1.5 cents (damn the dollars not worth anything anymore)
