Who voted to delete the words 'must be men' from the Constitution to allow women to be admitted into the fraternity?

• A. The General Assembly
• B. The Alumni Association
• C. The Board of Directors
• D. The National Council

Answer: (C)

Amending the fraternity’s constitution is governed by the body that handles constitutional changes. In this case, the Board of Directors held the authority to approve amendments to the Constitution, including removing the phrase that required members to be men. Their vote to delete that language opened the door for women to be admitted, making the change official. The other groups play important roles in governance and policy, but they do not have the same constitutional amendment authority in this context. The General Assembly includes delegates who discuss and propose changes, the National Council provides leadership between General Assembly meetings, and the Alumni Association focuses on alumni affairs rather than voting on constitutional language.
