We believe this can be accomplished (maybe even more effectively) while still initiating blondes and brunettes. National seems to think that, except for the occasional blonde who just really wishes they were a redhead or who just really loves redheaded culture (and they think 1 initiate a year on our campus would be a high estimate of the frequency), you cannot be a redheaded organization unless you are 100% redhead. I bet with any one of you, unless you have some sort of ritualistic response to a question along the lines of "what do your organization's ideals mean to you" that if you asked that question to 10 of your members, you would get 10 different answers. Is that a reason to kick us out? I refuse to leave or be forced out of my organization. I have poured too much of my life into it and gotten so much in return that to throw it all away would disgust me.

I agree with what has been said before. The only thing national can do to you is what you let them do. If you still embody the rituals and values of your organization, they had reason to kick you out. And honestly if they still kick you out, that just proves that they aren't the kind of organization you want to be part of. Like I mentioned before there are local orgs that have been founded because of these same issues. My own org has gained a couple of chapters because of this as well. I understand your desire to remain part of this orginazation you gave so much to. But if they don't want you, why should you wish to be included with them.
