Greeklawgirl,
I see what you're saying and I agree completely. I'm not intending to disagree with you. Personally, I think a case such as this would have some merit, but I do not believe it would bring any financial loss to any fraternity/sorority.
The main problem is reputation. If my local chapter was to get sued for discrimintation (merited or not) it would be terrible for the chapter. The media would be all over it. Since the media is so liberal these days in what they report, chances are they would side with the other side. Nationals would probably be discouraged and either close the chapter or have some kind of punishment... even if it is unmerited... so they can show they "took action". The only advice I can give to everyone is (and I am sure everyone knows this) is that people are waiting for us to screw up... so unfortunate people look that way. People not involved seem to only look at our social side... but not our philanthropic events or good deeds most GLO's perform.
