A stance with which I absolutely, completely, 1000% agree.
Peppy, if you'll look at some of the locals' pages, the reason they broke away from their national to begin with was because of what they perceived as old-fashioned and antifeminist attitudes about the role of women in the Greek system and society at large.
It's not "we have to have alcohol so we can parteeee", it's "the men have it, so we should have it also." The same would apply if only men could have intramural teams or houses.
