I remember having a talked with her at the philadelphia convention.
She talk to me about how the fraternity had changed. We sat there
in the lobby watching people of the fraternity go by. She was not an
honorary brother. That was the first thing I ask. Why, because I
didn't want to say something against her membership. But that is
what got us into the conversation about membership. She said to me
the fraternity use to be very particular about who they would let join.
Now they let anybody join. I didn't think she was talking about female
membership. I think she was talking about the standard of the individual
who had membership. Because she was saying that, just as a female
who had daisy dukes and colored tights on, was walking by.
JayBEE!
