The Key Editorial Board praises Chi's "frank, conscientious and honorable" expression of the chapter's position on honorary membership. The Key approves of Chi's sentiment, but disagrees with Chi's actions, because while the chapters have a right to refuse consent to honorary members they do not have a right to refuse the principal of honorary membership itself. The Key concludes that honorary membership is a "complex question of ethics" which will likely end, but it ought to be ended in national conference rather than by individual chapter decision-making.
