There is an interesting history of co-ed groups on the Alpha Delta Phi (Brown University) website here... http://www.brown.edu/Students/Alpha_...story/coed.php
The Sigma Nu chapter at MIT decided to go coed in 1970. They disaffiliated with the national fraternity and adopted their chapter designation, Epsilon Theta, as their name. Sigma Nu has since recolonized; the chapter was rechartered in 1995.

The same thing happened with the MIT chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha in 1975. They went coed, disaffiliated from the national fraternity, and now go by pika.

And the same thing happened with the MIT chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu. They went coed, disaffiliated from the national fraternity in 1973, and now call themselves Fenway House.
