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?
