Likewise, I don't think that either the NIC or a campus IFC are protected under Title IX; the organizations that are members of it are. And at least on some NIC organizations, chapters of which may also be members of campus IFCs—Psi Upsilon and Delta Psi/St. Anthony Hall, for example—are not single sex. That would seem to indicate that allowing some co-ed organizations into the NIC or an IFC in no way imperils the Title IX status of other NIC or IFC members.
Of course, whether this org could "mesh" with Panhellenic is a different question.

This was my thought, too. If the CPH has to admit both genders, that sure as heck doesn't mean the individual groups do.
