National HQs ban sorority members from fraternity bid night parties at U. Va.

[LaneSig]

I had read the letter yesterday (a Sigma Chi brother had posted it on his FB page).

I am not trying to get into any disagreements with NPC (some of you know why), but I was surprised to read "No alumna can be involved" in fraternity recruitment. Is this correct?

I can understand the reasoning behind not allowing actives to participate: but to tell graduated women that they can't be involved? And, in this case, to threaten to punish an undergrad chapter over an alumna's actions? I'm at a loss.

btw- I'd feel this way whether Sigma Chi was involved or not.

In for a penny, in for a pound thought: If the national leaders of the UVA organizations had said to the undergrad chapters, "We want to talk to you all about fraternity bid night. We have some concerns" ahead of time, instead of a blanket ban that (to my knowledge) did not have any discussions with the undergraduate members, it probably would have went over better.
