If it were inclusive then perhaps it would catch on and be documented but because it excludes a segment of both organizations, it doesn't make sense to put it on paper anywhere.
I have a question: What is the urgency or the necesity of recognizing the 25/52 relationship? D9 orgs (with the exception of Sigma and Zeta) do not recognize each other but people are still OK with this relationship and it is still able to prosper.

Well,
That is true. It doesn't include everyone (female frat members/male sorority members). But maybe that is the problem...*sigh* See, now that means we would have to get into why this was even created in the first place and I really do not want to get into that. The whole thread would be on fire, lol.
For me, I don't care about whether or not there are women in Alpha Phi Omega...that decision was made even before I was thought about. I have love for everybody, and quite frankly I'm about business within Gamma Sig and no where else. It's not so much that I'm burning up to get this documented-perhaps it doesn't need to be because we as organizations are doing just fine without it. I think what I am trying to do is let people know that we're out there and we're actually about something positive, not sitting around bashing those who don't participate.
This isn't going to turn into a pro-fam or against-fam discussion, because it's everybody's individual choice. Me, if you're a fraternity member then you're my brother, hands down. Male, female, whatever. It is so much bigger than that at least to me. I think we need to just have respect for each other's individual choice in organization. Does everybody feel me.
