NIC and groups with religious restrictions...

[naraht]

I'm sort of surprised after all of the efforts (mostly in the 1950s and 1960s) to have all of the NIC fraternities be open to not only those of all races but all religions as well that over the last few years NIC has admitted organizations like Beta Upsilon Chi which are explicitly Christian in both membership and program.

I'm not sure if that represents that the efforts to have NIC fraternities were always only external forces rather than the NIC itself or if it represents that the NIC has over the last 30 years has admitted groups like Alpha Phi Alpha, Lambda Phi Epsilon and Sigma Beta Rho that would have at one point or another been considered "Niche" fraternities, even if they don't have explicit membership requirements (other than being all-male). (Of course the same could have been said about Zeta Beta Tau at the time)

Ideas?
