Just to stir the pot, I'll add that Harvard allows single-sex organizations not only in the athletic arena, but also for singing/musical theater groups. The rationale is the same as with athletics: a biological, physical difference between men and women that relates directly to the activity at hand. In practical terms, certain activities -- ice hockey, singing high-voice repertoire -- can't work unless the group is single-sex.
Discuss.
