Here's something that hits close to home! (At least for me). I just joined CU Boulder's Christian sorority, alpha delta chi (adx). And for the chapter at San Diego State University, it has just recenetly been decided that the sorority will no longer be affiliated with the school on the grounds that it is exclusive/discriminatory because it only lets Christians in: the members and officers to accept a statement of faith, which, among
other things, requires that members have accepted Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Savior. The Christian sorority and fraternity at Hastings College became unaffiliated too, last year, and this trend could have an effect on other adx chapters. However, if it does eventually affect our school, the Christian fraternity will not see any affect since all fraternities here are not affiliated with CU already.
The adx chapter tried to get this case reviewed by the Supreme Court,
but were denied. The problem for adx chapters is how one-way this decision is: since "the student vegetarian club can exclude those who
advocate for meat eating and animal hunting, but Christian groups cannot
exclude those advocating atheism or Buddhism, etc" (see link below).
