And this was a very fast change relatively speaking, I don't think any of the chapters pledged women illegally prior to 1967 when we stopped requiring scouting background and by 1974, allowing women to be affiliate members was probably the only thing that kept the fraternity from tearing itself apart (women were allowed as full members in 1976, chapter option; 30 years later it was no longer chapter option)
