Update April 21 '05 -- The Crimson just ran another editorial supporting recognition (limited) of single-sex organizations, and recommending that chapters of national fraternities and sororities be included in the limited-recognition category. The editorial, "Including Exclusivity," is in the April 21 '05 issue:

An editorial in The Crimson (Feb.23, 2005) encourages the College to find ways to work together with the single-sex organizations. Although the editorial chiefly mentions the (male) final clubs -- plus Sigma Chi -- the possibility of a change in Harvard's stance would probably apply to the sororities too.
Excerpt:
However, two weeks ago Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin II and Associate Dean of the College Judith H. Kidd held a meeting with leaders of many of the same-sex organizations at the College to discuss the possibility of working together with these groups in the future. This dialogue represents a welcome thawing of relations between Harvard’s administration and its top social clubs. It has been far too long in coming.
