This is a very interesting question you asked.
I know Guelph has a single-sex residence. MacDonald Hall is an all female residence. There used to be an all male residence-Mills Hall-until it was changed to co-ed because of the lack of space for females (females make up 60-70% of our student body).
Guelph does not recognize GLO's, and their reasoning is that we discrinimate based on gender. But it's interesting that they do recognize Varsity sports teams, which are single sex and are somewhat exclusive. Everyone is welcome to try out for a varsity team, however not everyone will be choses for the team. Kind of like GLO's. Everyone is welcome to go through recruitment, yet not everyone will get a bid.
This is of course more of a rant than it is a question, but what makes varsity sports team different from GLO's??
