Totally agree with this. I bet there's plenty of "openness to interpretation" here on the part of each (inter)national organization, and individual chapters may be able to petition their way out of the regulation if they so desire.

My guess is that WRCs that have a national policy prohibiting them from taking BT girls will be scrambling to get a special approval figured out this summer. At least, if I were the advisor of a chapter in such a situation, it would be my top priority. It's a no-brainer.

I expect that SRCs with this policy will feel a lot less pressure to get the prohibition lifted, especially if there is any kind of subtle bias against BT girls (concerns about retention or grades, etc).

All that said, I would not be surprised if all the chapters were accepting BT girls within a year or two.
