I'm just wondering b/c I think that's interestng.

We're actually a completely local sorority, established at Cornell College in Iowa in 1957. KDChi National is a Latina Service Sorority that was established in 1987. Two completely different groups, but I can see where it's easy to get the two of us confused as it has happened before.
Basically, what happened is about 10 years ago, there was a lot of interest for making our local sorority co-ed, as there were several men that spent a lot of time with our group, and really held the group to a high standard. We changed the constitution at that time to make it so that any member of the college in good standing could join the group, as opposed to only females. The guys that have been a part of the group have all done our version of rush, pledging, and initiation, and are all full members of the group.
We are a local though, so it gives us the room to do that.
