I adore my sisterhood and have been a dues-paying, gifting, involved alumna & volunteer for 20+ years. But DG is not more important than my family, my country or my morals & religious beliefs. And if a DG were about to go trample everything I hold dear - say, if Ann Coulter were nominated for this seat - I would not sit silently and cover for her in the bonds of sisterhood.

Since we're sisters ITB I'd just add that I respect your viewpoint and would vigorously defend your right to say it. My family comes first as well, as I imagine it does with everyone participating in this discussion, regardless of which group they are affiliated with.
Greek Letter Organizations have had targets of various sizes and shapes on their backs off and on and at varying levels of intensity for all of those 150 years. I hope that we're careful not to add those targets ourselves because we have different political viewpoints. I'm not sure I'd sit silently if Ann Coulter were nominated either, but I doubt she'd miss our endorsement much either way. She sure seems to have little trouble being "out there" regardless (LOL)
