As a Christian (United Methodist), Pi Phi's ritual impacts me greatly and has deepened my faith. At the same time, I have friends from several faiths and respect them for adhering to their beliefs. I would not respect and would oppose anyone who tried to change Pi Phi's ritual. Our founders' values and beliefs were and are worthy ones.
If a PNM feels uncomfortable for any reason -- whether she feels a chapter is too religious or too athletic or too whatever for her -- she should focus her attention elsewhere. Neither the chapter nor the PNM benefits if a girl depledges because she didn't feel at home. A PNM should ask about a chapter's interest groups to make sure it has enough variety to keep her involved and happy.
