TKEmz894,
Whether or not I agree with you is not important. But, like I was saying, many fraternities get sued. Discrimination doesn't only mean not allowing someone in because of their sexual orientation, race, disability, etc. It could be not allowing someone in because you personally don't like them. Why do you think schools do not like to directly speak about us? Or give us good press? Because they are holding THEMSELVES liable. For example, if a fraternity gets sued at UCLA, chances are, the school will be named in the lawsuit. A lot of GLO's are moving away from membership votes. The reason is, that if a person meets your requirements (such as grade policies) you MUST let them in, by law. Instead, we choose to vote on members, thus, in the long run we put ourselves at risk for being sued. So if you did not let John Doe in because you didnt like the way he combed his hair, technically he could sue you (and might even have a valid case if that was the ONLY reason you didn't allow him into the fraternity). He would have to miss out on one of your requirements (such as grades) in order to be denied membership.
This is kind of different, but technically, anyone can go to ANY school they fit the requirements for. Women can go to West Point (traditionally an all guys school) and men can go to womens schools. But for the most part, men are not admitted to womens schools. And if they are, they will not go there because they dont have the balls. So if found that a man was not admittef to a womens school because he was male, he could sue... just like women sue when theyre not admitted to guys schools based on their gender.
Same crap applies for GLOs. A lot of them will not allow people they just "dont like", and onetime, someone is bound to bring a lawsuit. So becareful on why you don't admit someone.
