I supect you're right, but . . .

I suspect that you're right, but I don't want to collect or analyze the data. That's a rock that I don't think that we want to turn over.

I don't think we've anything to be ashamed of, but there are opportunists out there that might well exploit the study. I would not want to have data that could be sought by the news media or by a government agency, possibly via subpoena, that might generate controversy for us - or for other fraternities that might not have a similar reputation or history of inclusion.

It's not that I don't trust people, but if we do not have the data then we cannot be coerced or forced to surrender it. If we don't have it, we can't be ordered to go out and gather it, analyze it and present it. If we already do have it then it is a simple matter of an official demand of some sort.
