It happened at Amherst way back when. The story i heard is that all the Greek Organization were forced to initiate women. The Gamma of Psi U got away with it for a few years by submiting first initials only on the membership form, but eventually they started to submit whole names and got caught. They were brought to the carpet at Convention and were able to successfully able to argue that they didn't violate the tenets of Psi Upsilon. The constitution never says that a member needs to be a male. Granted they probably didn't see that as something that had to be addressed since colleges were mostly all male at that point anyway.
