I never thought about that before now.

SAI received our exemption via a letter from the office of Civil Rights in 1981 because it was determined that, while we specialized in music, we were originally established to foster close relationships among women musicians; therefore, we were deemed a social organization. As long as our membership criteria was expanded to include women from any area of study and require completion of one only music course we remain Title IX exempt.
I'm not sure what new organizations that lean towards a speciality area but want to remain single sex would have to do.
