Shane, I think there are two types of laws/regulations that HQ has:

1. common sense rules for the enjoyment, safety and preservation of everyone - risk management, banning kegs, no underground chapters, ritual, etc.

2. then there are the rules/regulations that try to rob individual chapters and brothers of any individual identity - these "2nd" class of membership, everything outside of a strict set of guidelines is considered hazing, etc.

It's good to have a certain amount of uniformity. But it is also good to have a certain amount of uniqueness to each chapter. After all, chapters need to adapt and change depending on their environment.

I think that the application of this "little sister" rule is a little too Nazi-esque. As the original poster stated, it really is just a t-shirt and a sense of pride between a LXA dating a DZ; that they want to help each other out and watch out for each other.

I'm sure many, many chapters do not follow this rule (I know of several right now on the east coast).

I assure you, this will not, in any way, shape or form, ever be some sort of starting point to allow women in LXA.
