(at bolded) You are absolutely correct and I have never treated women as less than an equal as an ALPHA PHI OMEGA brother. However, I do respect the desires of those chapter that want to be or wish to be all male. You can respect and support the wishes of all-male chapters without disrepecting women. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Prior to learning more about Title IX and how it directly affects Alpha Phi Omega (we don't have the exemption that Social greeks do), I respected the decisions of those chapters choosing to stay all-male. I didn't agree with it, but I respected it.

Now that I know the law and its implications, I can't respect a group that blatantly ignores it, knowing the harm it could bring to the Fraternity if we were to be sued for violating it.
