Judge dismisses Wyoming KKG lawsuit

[AZTheta]

navane I have attended conventions and witnessed the closed ranks from TPTB when members voiced their concerns or disagreements with policies. It’s an example of “the sorority within the sorority” that I’m certain other old-timers also know. You are right, holding the threat of membership termination over the heads of those who dissent is particularly ugly. So like many of my Panhellenic sisters I disagree with my checkbook.

I think you understood my comment about the courts not interfering in private organizations. You explained it better and I appreciate that.

Ugly is as ugly does.

I can't help but think: 50 or so years ago when they first pledged, would these women have believed that decades later they would lose their membership for following their convictions and stating the obvious: that men don't belong in women's organizations? Back then, would they have been able to wrap their heads around the idea that in the future, up would be down and down would be up? That right would be called wrong and wrong would be celebrated? That in this country there would be all this militancy and forced speech to discourage people from saying that the emperor is not wearing any clothing?

I hope these women continue their work to advocate for their beliefs regardless of their membership status. This is not a good look for Kappa.
