26 August 2004The Alpha Iota Omega fraternity has filed a federal lawsuit against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for revoking its official UNC recognition last year, after members refused to sign a nondiscrimination policy that its membership be open to everyone regardless of religion or sexual orientation. AIO, a Christian fraternity, says that all members are required to participate in the group's evangelical mission and that admitting homosexual students would violate their standards of conduct, which restrict members to married, heterosexual sex, the AP reports. "'Non-Christians would not be able to meet that very basic criteria of membership for our organization,'" said AIO chapter president Trevor Hamm.
