Either way, I'm sure that you'll agree that what goes on within an organization, and its practices and policies, are very special to those organizations, and that they have their own reasons for doing things the way they do that not everyone outside them will always understand (or have to). So long as they are not infringing on others (such as the MiAKAs are doing, in a very blatant and disrespectful way), then there's no reason not to respect others' traditions.

I do agree with those sentiments, however, it sounds ridiculous for a woman to call another woman her "frat brother" or for a man to call another man his "sorority sister". That sounds absolutely ridiculous. Do I respect their right to have such a tradition? Certainly. Am I entitled to an opinion on how it sounds to an outsider? Certainly. Do I really care about why they do it? No, because I'm not a member of any such organization. ~shrugs~
