So, it's not because of the status that they're exclusive but their exclusiveness can be predicted if you know the status.
It seems to be a tradition moreso than a longstanding rule for social orgs. Otherwise, it doesn't make any sense.

My point was more of an observation that this was an interesting concept. I had never heard anyone put it forth. (also, I made no assumpts as to how knowledgable you might be about Title IX. I was more concerned that others out there won't be).
AFAIK, I believe its a rule amoung the socials. But I'll leave it up to others to confirm/deny.
As to 'tradition'. I heard an interesting quote about tradition. Basically it went that 'its tradition when we've forgotten why we do it'. (you know the old reaction: "we HAVE to do it. It's TRADITION").
