I saw EIU and got all excited because I remember them going co-ed when I was there. (Yes, I transferred to Illinois later which doesn't have either band organization; it's in another thread. Anyway...) Prior to 1996, KKPsi was male only, and TBS was strictly female at EIU. That fall, a male TBS member transferred to EIU from another school. Both KKPsi and TBS decided to become co-ed, and he could then stay an active member of TBS. They are both still co-ed, but from my understanding, only TBS takes in guard members now. The KKPsi chapter no longer does, unless they play in a winter/spring ensemble, I think??
ETA: The allowing guard members is specific to the chapters at EIU not a blanket statement.
