Docetboy,
I was surprised to see you state with such unflinching authority that Kappa Sigma fraternity would immediately move to expel any member whose beliefs had changed from the time that they in good conscience took their oath. It’s unclear to me whether your statements about what the fraternity would do are purely your interpretation of Kappa Sigma doctrine (pledge manual, ritual, etc.) or whether the Kappa Sigma fraternity has issued some policy statement threatening expulsion or has already taken some action on this specific scenario.
Perhaps that’s also why other people here are asking you so many questions. There are many fraternities out there who absolutely require a belief in god (according to their pledge manuals and their rituals), but I have never heard of an initiated member later being expelled on the basis of nonbelief. So it’s hard for me (us?) to understand how you can put forth the kind of unilateral statements that you have.
No disrespect intended of course. Just seeking clarification. It’s an issue of great personal interest to me. And mind you, I’m not disputing that Kappa Sigma has this requirement – I’m just asking how you’re so sure what they would do from an enforcement standpoint.
Also, out of curiosity, on what do you base the assertion in your signature that Kappa Sigma’s European founding is in 1400 and that the group is 603 years old? What is the direct tie between Chrysoloras’ brotherhood at Bologna and the Kappa Sigma fraternity? As I understand it, Kappa Sigma based the fraternity on the earlier brotherhood, but does not claim to be a continuation of that long defunct group. Please correct me if I’m wrong, or please correct yourself if you are.
Fraternally,
wptw
