Non-social greeks on your greek council.

3) The discrimination against those in social fraternities for membership both confuses and saddens me.

4) I don't believe that anything that I say on this topic will affect the *current* situation at Duquesne University.

1. it was more the decision of the alumni and active brothers less the university. Brothers wanted to uphold the history that they have stood for, for so very long. The university supported the decision. But we all know that story

3. Its not to hard to figure that out. Alpha Phi Omega was so active that is was physically impossible to do both. groups would compete, it is just how the university functioned. There are cases like this at Nu Mu and Psi Delta as well several of the HBCU's in terms of the AMC.

4. Already done deal.

1. Agreed that it was a alumni and active brother decision. But, had the chapter decided to go the other way, I expect some of the staff at greek affairs would be been *disappointed*.

3. I would expect that there were brothers who were on sports teams, which would have taken as much time as being a brother of a social fraternity.
