Fellas, there is a difference between excluding people based on what they DO vs. what they ARE.

Does that make sense?

No one is saying you take the guy who doesn't meet the quality requirements. They are saying, that if a man is worthy of joining your chapter, then extend him a bid. If he's worthy, but happens to be black, and you don't extend him a bid, well that's wrong.

I can't imagine that would change the way in which any chapter operates. (Except for Denison, or at least I think it was Denison, that somehow became affiliated with a white power group...)

Further, intake of pledges can and never will be taken over by the GF. It just can't happen. There's no way to legislate that besides setting minimums, and those are up to the General Convention.

Finally - if you want to fix it, then when you graduate and become an alum, get active at the national level. Be the voice of dissent and pull people back when they encroach on the Convention.
