Non-Brothers wearing badges

I agree. The idea of giving a badge or letters to a man who is not a brother rubs me the wrong way. If a man wants to wear our letters, why can't he join the Fraternity and get them the same way we did? Giving a badge to a woman puts her "under the protection of the Fraternity." Presumably, a man should be able to protect himself.

After all, the original provisions are for giving badges exclusively to women. Mothers, but not fathers. Sisters but not brothers. See where I'm going?
