Correct. Being a music major or minor has never been a requirement. As I recall, there was at one point (the 60s and 70s, I think) a requirement that a brother take at least one music class during college, but that's as far as any such requirement has ever gone, I think.
Betarulz!, I think you're right in guessing that Erik is talking about the possible reactions of some silver-gray hairs (the ranks of which I am joining all too fast). But we got most of those reactions 10-20 years ago, since the decision to return to our roots as a social fraternity and stop straddling the social/professional worlds was made in the mid-80s and really started to be felt in the early 90s. (Although as I said in the other thread that this got separated from, change comes slowly and at different paces on different campuses.) These days, the only alums one gets that kind of negative reaction are usually those who haven't stayed involved, paid attention to and attempted to understand what the Fraternity has been doing for the last two decades.
And JoninKC, I think I'm going to respect my fears and refrain from asking you to elaborate on the "poor pledges."
