Instead, the pent-up members believe couples should practice chastity to foster healthier romantic relationships, reports Harvard Crimson columnist Kathleen E. Hale. The group's website states that its mission is to "strive to present another option to our peers regarding sex-related issues, endorsing ideas of abstinence and chastity as a positive alternative for personal and health reasons."
