What is being true to oneself?  To each other is honesty, loyalty, =
trust, perhaps openness as Tim suggested.

I would like to add that as a PoliSci major and member of 4 =
organizations, APO included, it is very hard to get everyone to agree =
locally, much less on a national or larger basis.  For example, at the =
Annual Meeting of the Delaware Society Sons of the American Revolution =
last year, there were a few incidences of heated arguments.  The others =
are Boy Scouts of America (within that Order of the Arrow & Natl Eagle =
Scout Assn) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (within that =
Sons of Veterans Reserve in name only at the moment).

  I would like to bring up the the verse "True to self and to each =
other" in this discusssion.  I think that although mainly associated =
with loyalty I think this verse also states that we should speak out for =
what we believe and what makes us uncomfortable.  As fellow brothers we =
should also respect any other brothers beliefs and keep them from =
feeling uncomfortable.  In my opinion if just one person is =
uncomfortable with the song a chapter should try to respect that and =
find an alternative.
