Like I posted earlier, private orgs can discriminate. Does your chapter accept the campus slut? Does your alumni chapter accept the town hoe? A girl known to get drunk and act a fool in public. A thugged out girl with mannish ways? A butch bull-dyke who rides harleys and chews tobacco?. I think that AKA would have a problem with any of them wearing para or representing your org to the public. But who are you to judge? If all of these women have the grades and great public service records, why judge WHO they are and HOW they lead their lives. If homosexuality is equal or on par with heterosexuality, why is not promiscuity as equally a viable lifestyle as chastity or monagamy? Drunkeness with sobriety? Bull-dyke with Finer Womanhood? [/B]

Excellent point! Why hasn't any of the Pro Gay activists responded to it?

I think using quotes from the bible to support your pro homosexual stance is the best example of an oxymororn i've ever seen. What an abomination, how very hypocritical!

So, I guess if I wanted to join a sorority the fact that I live a promiscuous lifestyle (I don't, i'm saying this for arguments sake)wouldn't be an issue right? What if I enjoy smoking weed and drinking? According to you guys, it wouldn't be an issue because the members of the sorority would not have the right to judge the lifestyle that I live.

That's all I have to stay and I'm out!

*nodding* Of course, I agree that people have the right to express their opinion and I also know that chapters have the right to their own selection criteria. I think when others and myself express have expressed our opinions on this topic, we are simply inquiring as to which of the criteria (i.e. homosexuality) really has anything to do with the purposes of the organization. Do you know what I'm saying? Speaking for myself (and also looking at some of the posts made my Discogoddess), I am also trying to address some of the stereotypes put forth by other people. I think that's important...

But I was by NO MEANS saying that others can't express their opinions.

Peace Love and Progression,

There are also liars,cheats, drug dealers, whores, drunks, pimps, thieves, etc. everywhere you look....what's you're point?
just because you've/they've managed to sneak into everywhere STILL doesn't make it right! Like Doggystyle said It's not natural!

Point taken. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I guess the difference comes in where some people view homosexuality as a "preference" or "lifestyle" - i.e. something unnatural that can be changed and others view it as an orientation, or natural state of being that cannot be changed. But...*throwing hands up* like I said, we could go on and on for days...I would just like to say that I appreciate your input though. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

BrandNubian,
As I understand it, part of the purpose of Alpha Phi Alpha is to serve and uplift humanity, share the bonds of brotherhood and provide an example of good moral character. The question then becomes, is homosexuality consistent with good moral character? Some will say yes, some will say no. I try to, although I frequently fail, use the Bible as my 'moral compass' to point me in the right direction. Homosexuality is not consistent with the precepts, as I understand them, outlined in the Bible. Of course there are a lot of people who could feed the homeless, tutor the children and fix the homes of the elderly, etc., but that does not mean they could become, or should become members of any Greek letter organization--unless the members of that organization said so.
