I think they're saying 'you can't NOT pledge a person due to race, ethnicity, creed, religion...etc.', not saying 'you have to take a jewish man, an african american, a mexican and a homosexual'. This is just a formality, nothing more, and won't change the way any of our chapters operate.

Take the best people as you define them. Every chapter has their own arbitrary factors for determining who gets a bid, some even being as paltry as looks or popularity. Do I have a problem with how any chapter picks their pledges? No, I'm not in their shoes, I don't know who or what is best for them. Discrimination is bad, but we're letting people into a very exclusive club here, you can't just let anyone in.
