HARVARD has recently agreed to allow NPC groups to colonize on campus!
It was my understanding that Harvard's unrecognized Panhellenic Council has decided to expand and invite a third group to colonize on campus...not that the university has changed its policy about Greek groups. The two existing chapters are turning away many interested women at each rush. Several all-female local groups are also growing (the Bee, the Seneca, the Sabliere Society, the Isis, etc.). Harvard construes its anti-discrimination policies very strictly and requires all clubs to be open to all undergraduates, the only exceptions being athletic teams and singing groups devoted to high-voice or low-voice music. The Black Students Association must admit whites, the Christian Fellowship must welcome atheists, etc.

If Harvard has decided to recognize single-sex groups, that's a revolutionary change. Could you post a link if that's the case?

FYI, Yale has Pi Phi and Theta in addition to Kappa. It recognizes these groups, although only Theta has a house. Princeton, which has Pi Phi, Theta, Kappa, and Tri-Delt, does not recognize any Greek groups, although they are much more popular there than at Harvard or Yale.
