you are right, Denise
I was kidding, Denise, but thank you for the additional explanation. Phi Alpha is an important concept in SAE, who has a
marvelous history and colorful symbolisms. There are a good many once-Jewish fraternities, like Kappa Nu, and others who were courageous and meaningful. Either they got swallowed up
by the Zebes or others or just plain folded when we stirred up the
whole greek world over the clause. The smoke has somewhat cleared, but the Deefers got a taste of it at Emporia when the locals discovered it was historically jewish. Perhaps it will all come
out in the wash, I am too far removed from it all now, but the history is interesting. While it is indeed dangerous, young people
are too busy with their own circles to become involved in historical arguments, and it is too bad...we cannot be all things to
all people. The under 40 complainers often are receptive to all the
anger, but, in time, will mellow...
