They feel that since African-Americans were not allowed membership into the white Greek organizations back in the day, why should we allow them into ours now?  How do you guys feel about this?

I don't think there is any excuse for reverse discrimination. I should not have to pay for something my ancestors did. It's almost like what's happening with our chapter now. In the past, actives alienated the alumni, and now they refuse to have any contact with the chapter, even though we are completely different people. I know it isn't based on race, but it is a similar situation. The current actives are paying for the actions of a few alumni.
