Okay, okay... Now some feminazi activist is going to try to get into a notoriously "Anti-women-members" frat and she'll no doubt be "sexual harrassed" and hazed and, as Chink mentioned, al; hell will break lose.
the same exact thing happened at VMI when they "allowed" women to enter the corps. A few chiquitas who had been whining about getting in tried and failed. Rather than sucking it up and admitting that they couldn't hack it, they whined some more.
This is a sore spot for me because I attended a military college. WE let Women enter the corps back in 1972 (hell, we even let the Navy ROTC program in back in 1986!). Some owmen show up and make it, and some don't. believe it or not, many years the retention rate for cadets that make it through what we call "Rook Training" is higher for women. My theory is that the women knwo what they are getting into. Since there is nothing to "prove" by attending Norwich as a woman, they only try if they really want to. OTOH, many male cadets have no clue what they are getting into and go home with their tail bewtween their legs, while females help them carry their gear to the bus.
Then again, I have seen how having women in the mix can dilute the overall value of the training. I was lucky that I got put into an All male company, nothing beats morale down more than to have one member of a unit get preferential treatment.. and reduced standards for women are just that.. preferential. Therefore, I hope that the women petitioning for membership in these fraternities have to funnel just as many beers and take just as many whacks with the paddle as the guys do...
Personally, I think men and women should have certain areas that are off-limits to one another. Men have those communal urinals under the bleachers at Rodeos and women have those couches in the rest rooms at fancy restaurants. Men have Freemasonry and Women have Mary Kay. Men have fart contests and women have... well whatever it is, I'm sure they have something[/.i]. God Bless America.
