First off, brother or not, I have to say I don't give a rat's rump what Bill Clinton would have wanted (although I have a hard time believing he would have run away from a group of females in ANY situation ).

At another school their campus yearbook states Alpha Phi Omega National service Sorority. Young men are not attracted to a sorority. [/QUOTE]

I would blame this on the yearbook staff before I would blame it on the chapter. Sometimes there are people not familiar with the Greek system at all on staff and they make assumptions. My (social) sorority had a lot of members who were in the band, and consequently, in one yearbook we were on the same page as the band organizations, because the staff thought that we were "the band sorority" (Tau Beta Sigma). So that is not the fault of APO allowing women...it's the fault of stupid yearbook staffers.

We first created a membership for females, and then ten years later, we dissallow any group that is all male to form a petitioning group. [/QUOTE]

Please fill me in on this...I would assume that an all male group that intends to take in female brothers would be fine, but a group that states their intention to stay all male would be denied? As far as I'm concerned, that's how it should be. What if an interest group of Alpha Chi Rho said "we will only take Christians" or an interest group of Pi Kappa Alpha said "we will only take whites"? Are you saying you would be alright with that?

p.s. to the bros of AXP and PKA - don't take it personal, just using you 2 as groups that had restrictive clauses and have gotten rid of them.
