You all have given me food for thought. So many things to things to consider, the campus atmosphere not being the least.
I do know that at U of Houston the SXs pledged two twin brothers who were ABOUT 23-24. Theyhad been in the armed service and started college late. The LOVED being a part of SX. They even handled the pledgeship and Hell Week beautifully! (What kind of Hell Week could begin to compare to serving in the army???) Yet, they were undergraduates and going through the same process as the others.
I thought about this before I signed on and knew/hoped I would get some reaction to my post. THANK Y'ALL FOR BEING GENTLE!
What hit me this morning was, in actuality, it would be nice if there WASN'T a rule about it and every chapter had the freedom to choose. That way the doors would be open to those chapters that could present a membership opportunity to a woman. Those that prefered not to could go about their merry way. It might actually lead to stronger chapters-ergo-stronger Greek Systems. That would be a "win/win" situation for ALL concered. See, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
