Did your Sigma Alpha Iota chapter have a "no dating" rule, since it's co-ed? I know this isn't a requirement for co-eds but some chapters do it. I also heard people talking about "no dating" rules for single-sex organizations' chapters. This would prevent the drama from chapter brothers dating each other and from chapter sisters dating each other. |
No Sigma Alpha Iota chapters are co-ed. We hold social status and therefore are exempt from title IX. We are historically all female and chose to do whatever it took to remain that way. A man can only be inititated as an honorary member under two categories:
National Arts Associate - a man or woman who is nationally recognized for distinguished contribution to the arts.
Friend of the Arts - a man or woman who is supportive of and actively involved in the arts at a local or regional level.
They don't participate in the full initiation ritual--they recieve a seperate ritual. They are told some of our secrets during the ceremony and since they learn our grip and password they are allowed to attend full ritual ceremonies, but don't participate in them.
My co-ed org would be Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity founded in 1916 by six men who wanted an org that emphasized SCHOLARSHIP, LEADERSHIP, AND FELLOWSHIP. They did not choose to remain single sex after title IX and thus women were granted membership. And, no, we don't have a "no dating" rule. There is actually a brother who has dated two women--both members of the chapter.
