How many male members do they actually have? They may welcome male members, but still identify with the sorority experience and having a small number of mister sisters doesn't change that. If the university is mandating that they be part of a council for oversight reasons, the local Panhellenic council may be best fit.
This is how they define themselves on the UC Davis website:

I think it comes down to whether the term "sorority" mandates single sex. I don't think it does. Your mileage may vary.
But I also have to wonder…. If the acceptance of LDL into the local Panhellenic council does not have any implications over how NPC chapters recruit their members or operate their own chapters, why would the existing Panhellenic members oppose it?
