Okay...having standards is a form of discrimination
all fraternites and sororites discriminate on some basis, (at least the ones worth joining) but most of us admit to it, and don't try to hide it and be all PC
I'm not welcome in your group for reason x, then fine, you are a private group, and simillarly , i can black ball you for whichever reason I choose. however, i'm not going to say that something is fair and open to everyone, then run to an umbrella group to make some kind of rule because i don't want to admit to myself that i discriminate. Having standards means you discern, and discriminate, against those who aren't up standards
and mysticcat, yes that does fit the definition of discrimination: for example, let's say the standard is extra curricular involvement. Someone could have an outstanding "rush resume" (i would black ball someone for having one) but not be in any other clubs. Well, if that is your standard, you through everything else (individual merit) out of the window.
Although, I must ask, if it's such a non-issue, then why remove the exceptions?
