whether or not you agree, these are the facts and the reason or sorority was founded and I am proud of our beliefs.
You don't have to leave because we've said something you don't agree with. And, no one has slandered your organization. It is bad form to use your history to talk about what other specific organizations are (or were) not rather than celebrating what you are. Instead of naming Kappa Delta, why not simply allude to the unfortunate discriminatory practices within the context of membership selection conducted by some Greek organizations in the 1960s. That would be a classier way to handle it and would reflect much better on your sorority.

Obviously, I'm not a member of your organization, but in the spirit of Greek unity and cooperation, I hope you take what we've said into account and at least consider it.

Exactly. Putting Kappa Delta in your history is not the issue. The issue is that it seems like KD was included just so they couldbe made out to be "the discriminatory national sorority," thereby making your local look like the "champion of diversity."

I just feel like your history should be about YOU. Not about what other orgs are (or were) not.
