The issue here is not that the individual is choosing not to attend an event. Plenty of Ags elect not to go to Yell, basketball games, victory yells, etc., and that's an individual choice.
The problem is that a major campus organization is effectively PROHIBITING its members from participating in an Aggie tradition. It's even worse when you consider that it affects many freshmen who have just returned from fish camp, learned the yells, and are hopefully motivated about being an Aggie.
There is a HUGE difference between CHOOSING not to attend and not being PERMITTED to attend.
