The co-ed chapters in KKY and TBS can (and are) a problem in many schools, yet others seem to handle it just fine.
My class was the last year that both the KKY and TBS chapters at my school were single-sex. The next year, KKY went co-ed. TBS did not. Three years later, TBS was gone. The chapter has been reborn, and is now co-ed, although is by far still majority female. I would prefer single-sex chapters, but at the same time... our chapters of KKY and TBS have such different personalities and different goals-- the co-ed chapters work well to offer different possibilities for each incoming band member.
The most important thing, I think, is that each member who joins the organization does so because they want to, not because it's the only choice available to them.
