Yes.

All-woman chapters don't
de jure discriminate against men, and as far as I know still make a good faith effort to recruit them.

Do GSS chapters have the power to decide whether to allow a man to pledge? I believe this is the issue in our fraternity.
Among other reasons, it is a bad move legally to continue to allow all-male chapters to discriminate against women. It leaves the fraternity and the university open to litigation on the basis of Title IX rules, from which APO is not exempt.
