"The right to free speech" really has no place in this argument. When you choose to maintain membership in a private organization, you give up certain rights in favor of the rules of that organization. The only right you have is the right to choose between following the rules or canceling your membership. So let's not get hung up on entitlement. Having said that...
The very existence of such a "moratorium" is much more damaging to Kappa Kappa Gamma's image than anything that one rogue sister could potentially post on an internet message board. I was really infuriated to read about this.
This is more evidence of a disturbing long term trend of established fraternities and sororities moving away from brotherhoods and sisterhoods, and toward bureaucratic risk management corporations. Policy and government of the organization, while moderated and influenced by older and wiser alums, should be firmly in the hands of the undergraduates, who are the lifeblood of the organization. Kappas, take control of your sisterhood!
