I didn't mean Phi Mu is Confederate. If you reread it says it's background is. Honorary Philomatheans included Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. That's pretty Confederate. Many Philomatheans belonged to Daughters of the Confederacy or some org. with a similar title and were heavy supporters of the South before and after the war. It's very natural because they were in Macon at the time so I don't take it personal. But I've always joked that back in the day one of my relatives probably involuntarily cleaned up or farmed for the founders or early members of my org. since my family on my dad's side is from all up in GA. (You should see my sisters roll their eyes on this one!) That is what I meant by the fact that I had to be comfortable with that personally.
