Thanks. I should have been clearer with my question. I know what Title IX is. I had never heard of it being relevant to GLOs or more specifically NPHC orgs.

Most people aren't aware of its relevance to GLOs.
As I noted, socials were exempted from it, so those involved in social GLOs are probably unaware of it or its affects on college organizations.
However, non-socials (service, professional, honorary, etc) were definetly affected.
The affects of it was of grave concern to APO. As a service fraternity, we were not exempt from it. We could have lost chapters at schools if their administration decided to push the matter. We worked to both get ourselves exempted from it (didn't work), and to get our actives to approve going co-ed (happened in 1976).
I know that Iron Arrow, an honorary men's leadership organization at Univ of Miami was kicked off campus under Title IX for refusing to go co-ed. When they changed their policy 10-15 years later, they were allowed back on campus.
