The NAACP's focus is the advancement of the African-American community, and it has White members. What makes it any different for a man to join a group that has principles designed to help women if he really wants to help (chances are most men won't WANT to, but why shouldn't they be ABLE to)?[/B]

It's not just the goals and principles, Alias, it's also the rituals and symbolism that make our sorority what it is. It's impossible for me to go into further detail because I can't reveal anything about our ritual. Suffice it to say that it's definitely a women-only ceremony, and that a man getting involved in it would be like letting a bull loose in a china shop.
There are organizations available for men and women who want a co-ed environment. If a man asked to join Delta Zeta, I'd point him in the direction of the closest fraternity or co-ed group, and I wouldn't feel one bit guilty for doing so.
If men want to help us out with our personal philanthropy projects, then they are more than welcome. That's why we offer charity events that are open to the public, so that interested people can help us out if they so choose. A man who is interested in the charitable works we do doesn't have to be in the sorority to assist us.
