If being in the NIC is keeping AEPi from doing something like this, why don’t they just cease being part of it? It seems like they’re doing their members and especially rushees a disservice by pussyfooting about the issue and saying “we’re for everyone, except when we’re not.”

Great points.

I did look through the NIC membership list and there do appear to be other NIC member GLOs which have some kind of religious membership "requirements" or very close to it. Here are two that I know of:


Beta Sigma Psi

I believe that BYX requires members to profess the Christian faith in order to obtain membership.

BAPsi is a national, professional honors business fraternity.

I'm pretty sure that Beta Sigma Psi was meant. Given that Beta Sigma Psi was a Junior member of the NIC in 1952 and Full in 1969, it means that the NIC has never been in a situation where a Jew could join all of the NIC members. (There were founding members of the NIC that didn't get rid of their ban on Hebrews/Jews until after 1952.)

I did not expect this...

Thank you. I was looking at Beta Sigma Psi and my hands typed something else.
