If you look at a list of initiated members throughout the life of a Fraternity, any fraternity in this case, you will see TONS of ambiguous names (i.e. Lindsay, Elisha, Ashley, Shannon, etc.) I honestly don't think the National body as a whole would be weeding through and leaning up the rosters  |
If it were brought to HQ's attention, however, I think it becomes a serious question. Part of our tax status/gender exclusivity is based upon the single-sex nature of our organization.
I can't go into the details, because I really don't know much about that sort of thing just yet.
I do think it'd be bad joo-joo as far as the IRS is concerned, however.
You're absolutely right though, no one is combing through membership rosters.
