I just opened my email and saw this letter concerning the future of Greek life from President Michael Roth (himself an alum of Alpha Delta Phi, which at Wesleyan is a co-ed literary fraternity), and the head of the Board of Trustees. If I'm reading this correctly (as a non-Greek), won't this mean either de-recognition from the school or from the national organization? Or they have to give up their houses (DKE and Psi U's are beautiful)?
It's that one line right here, from the citation provided: "women as well as men must be full members and well-represented in the body and leadership of the organization."

IMO, that line implies that all men's GLOs must initiate women as a part of their organizations to keep on-campus residential housing for their organization. Am I interpreting that correctly?
