Responding to my own posting here....

These seem to be directly aimed at the "MOTRS-(City name here)" Alumni associations...

Also, because we have Regional based alumni voting, it does raise the question as to where APO-Dentists (for example) would send their voting delegate to. I'd actually prefer a setup where each AA gets a vote, but their votes put together comes to no more than 15% of the total vote, even if we have to break out the calculators. (Alumni votes get multiplied by a specific factor which is calculated when the number of delegates is known)

Or any other AA that excludes specific demographic groups, aside from limiting membership to single chapters.

I'm interested in hearing about how they intend to enforce the restriction. I mean, maybe it's just coincidence that the information about joining keeps getting lost in the mail when women request it.

Well, regardless of how it is written, we can have All-male AAs if they are for a chapter that went inactive while still all-male. (Such as the chapters at Oklahoma Baptist, Hendrix, Georgia Southwestern, Millsaps, Idaho State, Central State, Portland State, Grinnell, and Rice all of which have been inactive since before 1956)

I'll take suggestions for any AA that has been proposed limited to specific demographic groups other than by gender. I mean an "A Phi Que" AA in Atlanta (for example) that was willing to take brothers from any HBCU might actually pass muster. (as long as they were willing to take female alumni from Howard, for example)

For starters, my guess is that any AA application that is all one gender is going to get a special look through.
