Quick Question for some Lambda Chis

le996 · #1 10-11-2007, 03:49 PM

As far as the shirt goes there is nothing in our national by-laws that prohibit it, as far as I know and I consider myself fairly familiar with them. That is, it's ok for a non-member to wear a shirt with the English lambda chi alpha on it and it's ok for our name to appear with other fraternities and sororities.

Any sort of formal recognition from from the chapter of a little sister organization and/or recognizing a brother to formally have a little sister, like they would have a little brother by LCA is against our national by-laws. However, if DZ has some organization for this, I believe Choppers would be allowed to participate.

This goes back some years ago when there were big Brother/Sisters groups and IHQ felt that with the new equal laws coming about, they decided to stop this process and concentrate on the male proponent part of Fraternity.

It was because of this that it was discontinued. In some cases, it was becoming so very strong.

Most if not all fraternities have banned little sister orgs. The reasons were typically a combination of a potential threat to single-sex status and the increased liability that such orgs could bring about for the fraternity.

I still don't think, though, that the OP is talking about any organized thing.

le996, I may be misunderstanding you, but I believe you're saying that we can't be little brothers of a women's group. This isn't the case - ie it only applies to us being Big Brothers of a woman's group. We can still be little brothers of big sis's

This isn't anything sponsored or sanctioned by DZ - there is not a group of "little brothers" being picked by DZ. This is basically individuals picking who they want to be their big/little brothers and/or big/little sisters.
