Fraternities Agree To Select Members The Way They Want
National interfraternity delegates meet in Colorado Springs to approve a report affirming campus fraternities may choose members by their own standards. The advisory panel urges circulation to chapters and alumni while insisting membership remains voluntary and not a civil right. The proposal aims to reduce social clauses and prevent external coercion on admission practices.
