Personally, I would love to know why my own org didn't enthusiastically pursue a witty, articulate, intelligent, honor-laden, gorgeous PNM whose grandpa was a freaking TRUSTEE of the university. She should have had a full invite list.

I suspect that many of the collegians KNEW this was going to explode. This woman's connections are too important to ignore. There was no way that this was going to end quietly. This is on the heels of the professor whose wife lost her election bid to a Machine backed candidate and wrote that letter a short time ago.

I find it very hard to believe they will take a persons membership away simply because they are racist. What someone thinks personally should not affect their membership. If that were the case I guess all the Jewish sisters of most NPC should be kicked out for not believing in Jesus. Take away their power over the chapters should work so those ideas can't harm anyone.
Just had to interject sorry

Excuse my comparison. But they aren't gonna kick someone out for a racist. They'll just take away their power. A racist is only as strong as the power they are given.

The only way they can take away their power is to close the chapter or to sanction the chapter for accepting donations from certain alumnae.

Maybe not, if it's just about generic "values". But OPA has an explicit policy against discrimination. If it were difficult to prove, we would be reluctant to take severe action. In a case this blatant, however, we wouldn't hesitate to strip an alumna of her membership for violating a national policy.

They wouldn't be thrown out for being racist. They would be thrown out for breaking their sorority rules. I can't speak for any other sorority, but I would fathom a guess that alums are 1-not allowed to inject their personal opinions about girls beyond that stated on a rec and 2-CERTAINLY not allowed to vote or interfere with voting.

This. If the national has rules that say they will not discriminate based on race , etc , so alums need to follow the rules. Will the nationals enforce the rules ? We shall see.

I've heard of membership being terminated for "conduct unbecoming of a member". Do you think this could/would apply here?

This. KD wasn't mentioned, but they should check this out. As I was not in the membership selection, I cannot say why we did not pursue her as a top candidate. However, if that involved her race then it is completely unacceptable and goes against our basic values and beliefs.
