There was a chapter of a national fraternity at my school that wanted to go coed and sought their national's blessing. The answer was no, so they become a local coed fraternity, taking their chapter designation as their name.
Later, the national fraternity recolonized and wanted to retain the chapter designation. The local fought to force the national to choose a new chapter name, but unsuccessfully - the national got to keep its chapter name.
ariesrising, I know that several NPC sororities (but not AEPhi) had men who helped them establish themselves and craft their ritual. I think Chi Omega is one of them. But as a rule, it doesn't happen.
