\nChi Alpha\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion states \u00e2\u20ac\u0153[All offi\u00adcers] will pro\u00adfess Chris\u00adt\u00adian faith as expressed in the Nicene Creed, and they will sup\u00adport the mis\u00adsion and val\u00adues of nation\u00adal Chi Alpha Cam\u00adpus Ministries.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nClaire Chevri\u00ader, SGA Stu\u00addent Activ\u00adi\u00adties Chair, who is in charge of review\u00ading club\u00ads\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtions for dis\u00adcrep\u00adan\u00adcies, said she was con\u00adcerned about Chi Alpha\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pro\u00adposed con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153When I saw that state\u00adment about the offi\u00adcers I said \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcred flag, that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem right,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Chevri\u00ader said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I ini\u00adtial\u00adly thought they would have to change that to abide by our dis\u00adcrim\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion pol\u00adi\u00adcy, but they were pas\u00adsion\u00adate about keep\u00ading it in there because they were wor\u00adried about the longevi\u00adty of the club.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is prop\u00ader for reli\u00adgious orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions to have reli\u00adgious require\u00adments for lead\u00aders. I don\u2019t get why some peo\u00adple don\u2019t get this. Requir\u00ading a Chris\u00adt\u00adian orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion to allow non-Chris\u00adtians to lead it is like requir\u00ading a church to hire a non-Chris\u00adt\u00adian pas\u00adtor. It\u2019s ludi\u00adcrous.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/b> On Tues\u00adday, March 30th the stu\u00addent gov\u00adern\u00adment vot\u00aded unan\u00adi\u00admous\u00adly to approve Chi Alpha at UVM with\u00adout requir\u00ading any changes to their con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion. Woot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
